About this title

From the Back Cover:

Blackstone - a small New England town whose long-buried secrets and sins are coming back to life. To haunt. To terrorise...

From the top of Blackstone's highest hill, the old Blackstone Asylum casts its shadow over the village. Built in the 1890s, the Asylum has been vacant for many years. But now, the wrecker's ball is poised to strike, smashing into the old stones - and unleashing a terrible evil, an unholy fear long locked within these cold walls.

Soon, strange gifts - a doll, a locket, a handkerchief - begin to appear on the doorsteps of the town's finest citizens. Each carries a mysterious history. Each brings a horrifying power to harm. And Blackstone, if it is to survive this horror, must discover and atone for the sins of its fathers...
