Book description
Once they were strangers bound by their fears of a demonic entity
called Elizabeth Wither. They saw her come to life on Halloween in the
historic college town of Windale, Massachusetts. They saw their dark
dreams come true by the terror she wrought. They watched her crushing
death in tons of falling stone. But if Wither is gone and their
nightmares are over, why do they wake up screaming?
Wendy Ward -- a college student with a gift for white magic -- can
sense that the town of Windale is in for a dramatic change in weather.
There's a new chill in the air....It's whispered in the warnings of an
old woman. It's hidden in the corrupting legacy of a newborn baby.
It's waiting in an ancient evil impatient for a human host. And it's
being carried in the creeping flow of black blood -- Wither's rain.
San Francisco Chronicle Passarella hits the
groove that makes TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer such a kick.
