Welcome to Parr's Landing, population 1,528...and shrinking.
The year is 1972. Widowed Christina Parr, her daughter Morgan, and her
brother-in-law Jeremy have returned to the remote northern Ontario
mining town of Parr's Landing, the place from which Christina fled
before Morgan was born, seeking refuge. Dr. Billy Lightning has also
returned in search of answers to the mystery of his father's brutal
murder. All will find some part of what they seek--and more.
Built on the site of a decimated 17th-century Jesuit mission to the
Ojibwa, Parr's Landing is a town with secrets of its own buried in the
caves around Bradley Lake. A 300-year-old horror slumbers there, calling
out to the insane and the murderous for centuries, begging for
release--an invitation that has finally been answered.
One man is following that voice, cutting a swath of violence across the
country, bent on a terrible resurrection of the ancient evil, plunging
the town and all its people into an endless night.
