What this book is about
In 1941, a Wehrmacht unit occupies an ancient Romanian fortress — ignoring the warnings of the locals. When the soldiers begin dying one by one, the Nazis bring in a Jewish historian to explain what they're facing. Wilson's debut horror novel is a WWII thriller that becomes something far more mythological, featuring the first appearance of his character Rasalom.
