This book was dark with an element of science fiction. The prologue grabbed me right away, I'm not sure anyone could read that opening and not be intrigued.

When Joe returns to Arnhill for a teaching job, it gets the town wondering why he came back and his childhood friends are not happy to see him.
There are brief flashbacks to 1992 which gets into the real reasons Joe left, and in the present day we see the real reasons why he came back.

This books dances along the line of thriller and sci-fi horror.
A fast and enjoyable read. It started off slow and then I flew through the last 50%, definitely a page turner.
