    About this ebook

    “A splendidly entertaining horror novel from a master of the genre.” —Booklist
     
    Braydon Harris is convinced God has it in for him. Although Sukie, his little girl, seemed thrilled to be kidnapped from her mom’s parents’ house, an electric storm has hit, and it looks like the Lord isn’t going to make it easy for Braydon to get away. Braydon’s right. A huge truck jack-knifes in front of him, his car catches alight, and Sukie winds up in hospital with terrible burns—burns that only exacerbate the terrible nightmare she’s had for years about scary things flying through the sky, like shadows . . .
     
    “A fast-paced, gruesome tale sure to bring chills to receptive spines.” —Kirkus Reviews
