Description:
A nostalgic coming
of age story set in 1981. Kevin Murphy is at a turning point in his
life. It's the summer before high school. In just a handful of weeks
he'll turn fourteen and he has promised himself that on that fateful
day he will finally reveal his true feelings to the girl of his dreams,
fifteen-year-old Nikki French. Before he can do that, however, Nikki
falls for Pete Starling, an older guy with a serious cruel streak
and a pack of buddies who are even meaner.
At first, Kevin is just heartbroken. But then he begins to be afraid.
It seems that Starling and his crew are not all they appear to be.
In order to protect Nikki, Kevin is going to have to gather his
own friends around him and journey into another place, a land of
war and eternal darkness where there are no heroes. . .only monsters.
In this novel, Golden continues to explore the vein of horrific
fantasy he began to delve into in the critically-acclaimed Strangewood.
This special edition features a cover painting by fantasy artist
Michael Kaluta, as well as full page interior illustrations by some
of the biggest stars in the world of comic books!
