From #1 New York Times bestselling award winning author Robert McCammon, a novel that Publishers Weekly calls “both a mystery that will satisfy the most finicky aficionado and a boisterous travelogue.”

Zephyr, Alabama, is an idyllic hometown for eleven-year-old Cory Mackenson—a place where monsters swim the river deep and friends are forever. Then, one cold spring morning, Cory and his father witness a car plunge into a lake—and a desperate rescue attempt brings his father face-to-face with a terrible vision of death that will haunt him forever.

As Cory struggles to understand his father’s pain, his eyes are slowly opened to the forces of good and evil that are manifested in Zephyr. From an ancient, mystical woman who can hear the dead and bewitch the living, to a violent clan of moonshiners, Cory must confront the secrets that hide in the shadows of his hometown—for his father’s sanity and his own life hang in the balance.

I was recommended this book but was initially skeptical about its story. As time passed, I became more intrigued by ML's development. Although the plot could have been more straightforward, I liked the book overall.

What a fun story

I loved this book. I read it decades ago and never forgot how well it captured being a boy growing up in a small town, with best friends and adventures. So it has been great to revisit it again and remember why I loved it in the first place.

Wonderful story, and well told.

I first read this book years ago and always listed it as one of my favourites. Listening to it again as an audiobook did not diminish the magic of the stories.

The stories are rife with lessons, but they are deftly applied and don’t detract from enjoying the voyage. If you long for the magic of childhood, you can find it here. It still is one of my favourites.
