When his wife dies giving birth to a stillborn child, Robert Londrigan's grief quickly turns to horror with the theft of his dead daughter's body. As his hold on reality fades, he encounters a mysterious man named Rael who rules over an underground haven filled with children who may or may not be dead. Though not for the squeamish, Braunbeck's first solo novel nevertheless presents a compelling and disturbingly graphic exploration of grief and redemption that should appeal to fans of dark fantasy and psychological horror. An optional purchase for large libraries. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
