From deep within the empty house of a murdered family, Billy Creekmore hears his name whispered... and is drawn inside. At a revival meeting in Alabama, Wayne Falconer demonstrates his miraculous healing powers... while demons feast and grow in his soul. On separate journeys through the Deep South to Chicago, from a world of innocence to a world of evil, greed and lust, the two young men discover their manhood - and fuel a deadly rivalry. On a scorched slab of desert they will meet in fear and unite their extraordinary powers against a raging, unshackled spirit - the walking, hungry corpse of the Shape Changer.
The latest addition to Pocket's McCammon backlist once again demonstrates his multi-faceted talent in this "impressive performance" (Associated Press) which tells of a murdered family, a world of innocence and a world of evil, and of two boys born to a dangerous legacy to walk with the dead. Previously published by Ballantine.

Mr. McCammon has written a multi-layered story about the deep south and it's lifestyle. This book will take you to places and events that are delightfully horrlble and tragic. You will smell, taste and feel the fear as you take this mysterious journey. This may be Robert's best work. The characters will keep you awake at night and have you crying with pity. I hope Mr. McCammon has not retired. He is one of America's gifted writers and the pride of Alabama. Thanks for a wonderful journey.

This is an exciting story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Being a Choctaw it was great to see their hertitage as part of the story. My great grandma could move tables and each generation since has special "gifts". My daughter and I have seen ghosts in passing from this world to the next and maybe this book has more truth than you know.
