Description

In the summer of 1960, five twelve-year-old boys in the small town of Elm Haven, Illinois discover that the bonds of childhood friendship will be tested by forces far darker than they could imagine. When an ancient, sinister evil awakens in their community and a long-silent bell tolls in the dead of night, Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin find themselves thrust into a harrowing battle against an arcane abomination that threatens everything they hold dear. Dan Simmons weaves a masterful tale of coming-of-age horror that explores the power of loyalty and courage in the face of supernatural terror. As the boys navigate the line between innocence and experience, they must rely on their unbreakable fraternal bonds to survive a summer that will forever change them. A haunting meditation on friendship, loss, and the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of small-town America.
