What this book is about
Feist's 1988 standalone horror novel follows the Hastings family who move to upstate New York and encounter genuine fairy folk — not charming ones, but ancient, malevolent, and hungry. Features dark horror, sexual content, and violence. Very different from his Riftwar fantasy. For adults.
