The Dark

** NATIONAL IPBA AWARD WINNER IN HORROR ****

Once again, award-winning horror master David C. Cassidy takes his readers into a realm of terror, a world unlike any other. With the inspired flair of Clive Barker and the pulse-pounding beat of Stephen King, The Dark is a supernatural thriller that will leave you breathless, reminding us all that for all we desire there is always a price, the currency in suffering and sacrifice.

IT KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT. IT KNOWS WHAT YOU NEED.

In denial over his father's death in a horrific accident, Kelan Lisk has grown fearful and withdrawn. For this meek and bullied child, a burning desire to tame a deadly sledding hill consumes him, drawing him inside a wondrous place where anything is possible ... including his father. But as this strange new realm spills into this one, twisting an innocent little boy into an agent of evil, the world is forever changed, devoured by an even greater evil--the Dark.

Praise for *The Dark:*

"While reading The Dark, you're going to wonder why David C. Cassidy isn't the household name that Stephen King's or Dean Koontz's are. The writing and story plot are on par with both of those illustrious authors."

"The Dark is a lean, mean psychological thrill ride that offers generous shades of horror masters such as King or Koontz."

"Cassidy doesn't write scenes--he puts you in them."

"Terrifying, gripping, The Dark is a taut read that will make you want to keep turning the pages."
