About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, [1991]. First edition. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#168863) (29647). Octavo, boards. "Hugo Award-winning novelist Simmons's has produced an outstandingly eerie and truly horrifying tale, a page-turner of the first order. A miasma of evil hangs over the bright summer streets of the small town of Elm Haven, Ill., perceptible only to a group of boys who have just finished their last year at Old Central, an oversize, grotesquely ornate grade school built in the previous century. Simmons impeccably evokes a small Midwestern town in 1960, peopling it with appealing--and appaling--characters. His slow and careful introduction of the elements of evil builds credibility and moves to a high-pitched intensity." - Publisher's Weekly review 4 February 1991.
