Unabridged
From the best-selling storyteller Orson Scott Card comes a gripping story of terror within a small town.
Step Fletcher, his pregnant wife DeAnne, and their three children move to Steuben, North Carolina with high hopes. But Step?s new job with a software company turns out to be a snake pit, and eight-year-old Stevie?s school is worse. As Stevie retreats into himself, focusing more and more on a mysterious computer game and a growing troop of imaginary friends, the Fletchers? concern turns to terror. Young boys, whose names match a list of Stevie?s nonexistent friends, have mysteriously vanished from Steuben. And as evil strikes out from the most trusted corners, it?s suddenly clear that Stevie is next on the list. |
