About this Item

1st ed/1st pr. Book is square, solid, and unread. No remainder marks. In happy anticipation of this treasured tome you'll find yourself planning a day in the country, an outing to some sylvan grove where you might read underneath a shady tree, the map out on the table, your finger traces the secondary roads out off of the main New England throughways -- Arkham -- Dunwich -- Kingsport -- or perhaps a root beer and lobster roll to-go from a take-out counter at Innsmouth?

About this title

Synopsis

“An unsettling experience. [C]onfounding, touching and well-written.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Austin Fletcher, a disturbed young Vietnam War vet, is willed a small house deep in the woods of northern Maine. He comes to own it by the generosity of a brother-in-arms—a fellow soldier and confidante, Maynard Whittier, killed in action by a wayward mortar shell. The rugged landscape of Maine is an intoxicating blend of claustrophobic interiors and endless frozen wastelands. Little by little, the mysterious force in the house asserts itself until Austin isn't exactly sure what is in his mind and what is real. And just when our hero's had enough and is ready to quit the place, a blizzard arrives and the real haunting begins.
