Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"On a par with such greats as Stephen King, Clive Barker and Peter Straub" ( Midwest Book Review ), Bentley Little brings his unnerving talents to the terrifying story of a dysfunctional family in crisis.
Steve Nye writes for an alumni magazine and his long-term relationship is on the steady path to marriage. But his quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a phone call from his mother. His father attacked her and has been committed to a mental asylum. The doctor says he's suffering from dementia. But Steve's father seems so calm, clear-eyed, and perfectly lucid when he whispers, "I killed her..."
Is it simply another symptom of delusion and madness? To find the answer, Steve investigates the cryptic message leading him down a terrifying path of his own making--and of his own nightmares....
