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.
