FROM GOODREADS:
Three friends go looking for treasure and find horror in Jeffrey Ford's The Twilight Pariah.
All Maggie, Russell, and Henry wanted out of their last college vacation was to get drunk and play archaeologist in an old house in the woods outside of town. When they excavate the mansion's outhouse they find way more than they bargained for: a sealed bottle filled with a red liquid, along with the bizarre skeleton of a horned child
Disturbing the skeleton throws each of their lives into a living hell. They feel followed wherever they go, their homes are ransacked by unknown intruders, and people they care about are brutally, horribly dismembered. The three friends awakened something, a creature that will stop at nothing to retrieve its child.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I am really stoked to find out more about the creature that gets awakened and the horned child. Doesn't this sound AWESOME!
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
Yikes, that sounds scary!
ReplyDeleteI know right - the scarier the better!
DeleteYes I'm liking the sound of this one!
ReplyDeleteGreat. I hope you decide to pick it up.
DeleteThis does sound awesome, and I don't think I've ever read anything by Jeffrey Ford so I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure this will be my first read by this author too.

ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
The cover is almost perfect for the description. I love creepy covers almost as much as I love creepy books.
DeleteThis one sounds great! And Tor is one of my insta-buy publishers, so it is likely going to be very good.
ReplyDeleteI am currently waiting for The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert.
