If you've never read Bentley Little before and new to macabre genre (horrific and gruesome), then you're in for a ride! In this tale, a sleepy town is shaken up by churches being desecrated and little demons killing people. Toss in zombie babies and a creepy rogue pastor. As with most Bentley Little novels, this one ends with a big bloody showdown. A quick and easy read.

Excellent horror. Stayed up half the night to finish this one. The horror and terror just doesn't stop. It's a must read for horror fans.

I love anything Bentley Little writes and this book was no exception. I couldn't put it down! Gave me the look over my shoulder willies when I was reading it at night. I give it 5 stars!!

Don't read this with the lights off!! It is about strange things going on in a small town in Arizona. Bentley Little did a terrific job of terror with this one!

I enjoyed this, but I felt that the resolution was rather quick and that the "bad guys" weren't particularly terrifying. Still, it was a fun read that built upon itself rather well.

Good horror story, just enough gore but not too much, just enough romance really very little, a little bad language but not too much, creepy all the way through!

Supposedly this was Little's first book. It won the Bram Stoker award for best first novel. For a first novel, I would have to say it was very good. It has some pretty creepy parts to it. Some gore included. This is only the 2nd Little novel I've read. I enjoyed this one better than the first one called The Walk.
It's about a small town in Arizona called Randall. It's the typical small town. Quiet, not much going on then all hell breaks loose. In comes a creepy preacher who wants the people to follow him. Do they follow this preacher who has these eerie black eyes that tells of an evil there to destroy the town? Or is he the one that is the evil? Or is it just a cult causing problems.
The story kept me somewhat guessing until the end. I had my doubts of what was really happening, had many parts where I couldn't put the book down and enjoyed most of the characters. I never really got scared but definitely was creeped out at times. Look forward to reading more by Little.
