Jake Silver was a teenage misfit, a misunderstood genius who'd been cruelly tormented by his own sadistic father and others in his little Louisiana hometown. Jake was the perfect disciple for Them. They'd come from another world; disembodied begins who understood Jake's need for revenge. . . They would offer Jake the power to finally take it. . . All they wanted in return was his help in bringing others of their kind to Jake's world. It begins so slowly, so innocently, even Jake didn't see the danger. . . until it was too late to realize that he had helped unleash a devastating power in the universe--and opened a gateway for a horrific struggle between mere human beings and. . . Them.
"[Johnstone] loads his shotgun with tropes - incest monsters, zombie girlfriends, ghost werewolves, killer dolls - and blasts them at the reader again and again."
