An original story that perfectly balanced three menaces: the one on the edge of town, the one lurking within the town, and the one in the characters' own minds. A dark (in every sense) tale that reminded me of UNDER THE DOME and LORD OF THE FLIES. So instead of telling you what the book is about, I'll tell you what the book *is*. I never give synopses in my reviews because I detest writing them, so if you want to know what this is *about*, you'll have to read the description somewhere else. The father of two sons, Keene lives in rural Pennsylvania. A prolific public speaker, Keene has delivered talks at conventions, college campuses, theaters, and inside Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, VA. (home of the B-2 Stealth Bomber) for his outreach to U.S. He has won numerous awards and honors, including the World Horror 2014 Grand Master Award, two Bram Stoker Awards, and a recognition from Whiteman A.F.B.
