Bentley Little’s mesmerizing new tale of terror proves why he is “master of the macabre” (Stephen King).
If not for Diane, her friend and fellow teacher, Linda Webster would think she was going insane. Are they the only ones troubled by the strange goings on at John Tyler High? First, one of the students, a senior named Van, disappeared after playing basketball in a friendly pickup game that, from what she’s heard, turned inexplicably ugly. And now Jody, their usually composed principal, has gotten it into her head that Tyler should be a charter school, a cause that has morphed her into a raging harpy, making viciously rude remarks toward anyone who opposes her decision. What’s more, the janitors, normally easy-going guys, complain of eerie voices in the night, and the cheerleaders have become shockingly promiscuous (to the undisguised delight of their male coach)—it’s all bizarre and frightening. But when some students and colleagues take on zombie-like behaviors, and several members of the community vanish into the night, Linda is gripped with fear that unless she can stop it, an insidious evil is going to turn their beloved Academy into a grisly school of death…
