Mystery Walk - by Robert McCammon (Paperback)

About the Book

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.

Book Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of Gone South and PBS Great American Read nominee Swan Song comes "as finely a turned tale of horror as the best of them" (Houston Chronicle) about two young men with astonishing psychic gifts who encounter a nightmarish enemy.

One talks to the dead. The other heals the living. Both must make the Mystery Walk...

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.
