Synopsis

From the blood of the past, evil rises to seek undying vengeance... Prairie Bend.Brilliant summers amid golden fields. Killing winters of razorlike cold. A peaceful, neighborly village, darkened by legends of death? Who is Nathaniel? For a hundred years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered the name in wonder and fear. Some say he is simply a folk tale - a legend created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. And soon...very soon...some will come to believe that Nathaniel lives still - darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel.For young Michael Hall, newly arrived in isolated Prairie Bend after having lost his father to a sudden tragic accident, Nathaniel is the voice that calls him across the prairie night...the voice that draws him into the shadowy depths of the old, crumbling barn where he has been forbidden to go...the voice - chanting, compelling - he will follow faithfully beyond the edge of terror...Nathaniel.

I picked this up at a local book sale. I haven’t read Saul’s work in years. My grandmother read a lot of his stuff in the 90s. I remember borrowing one of his books from her and giving her Everville by Clive Barker. These authors are world apart. My grandma came away saying she wouldn’t be reading a......more

This was my first read from horror master John Saul's vast catalogue. What I can say is that the man can write and has a sure hand for a spooky atmosphere - there was at least one scene in the dark fields that gave me the heebie jeebies. It was a solid old school supernatural shocker that pleasently......more
