I've heard Ronald Malfi heralded as a successor to Stephen King and I can see why in this book. He seems to be channeling IT and Dreamcatcher. A group of grown-up friends must come back to their home town to confront an evil they thought was left behind. Jamie could be any alcoholic King character (only he's not a writer), Clay is Mike Hanlon with vitiligo, and Jamie's disabled brother, Dennis feels like a better written Duddits.
