Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
From where Jack was standing, he could see the back of Charlie's neck. Weird black shapes were appearing under his friend's skin. Needle-sharp points of some inky-black substance were trickling up from under the collar of Charlie's T-shirt, widening into curved slivers of pure liquid darkness as they crawled up around his throat. Now the shapes were creeping down out of Charlie's sleeves: sliding past his elbows and down his forearms with an oil-dark, liquid eagerness.
Jack recognized the shapes: the curves, the hooks, the spikes. He'd seen them that morning, on Charlie's back—
It was the black tattoo.
It was moving.
