A contemporary novel of masterful horror replete with magic, fantasy, and more than a little stylish sensuality.--The Washington Post Phil Hastings was a lucky man--he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural of magic--and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine. For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the Fool . . . and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten People--a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose. sakriti opis
