Little Heaven

"Beautifully written--menace drips from every page." --Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author**A "gripping and terrifying story...and one not to be missed" (Robert McCammon) from the acclaimed author of The Troop and The Deep!**A trio of mismatched mercenaries--Micah Shughrue, Minerva Atwater, and Ebenzer Elkins, colloquially known as "the Englishman"--is hired by young Ellen Bellhaven for a deceptively simple task: check in on her nephew, who may have been taken against his will to a remote New Mexico backwoods settlement called Little Heaven, where a clandestine religious cult holds sway. But shortly after they arrive, things begin to turn ominous. There are stirrings in the woods and over the treetops--and above all else, the brooding shape of a monolith known as the Black Rock casts its terrible pall. Paranoia and distrust soon grip the settlement. Escape routes are gradually cut off as events spiral toward madness. Hell--or the closest thing to it--invades Little Heaven. All present here are now forced to take a stand and fight back, but whatever has cast its dark eye on Little Heaven is marshaling its power--and it wants them all...
