The Holy;

Compared by early readers to such classics as The Magus, The Shining, and Ghost Story, The Holy will take you on a terrifying journey across a dark American landscape inhabited by those Others who were here long before we were. Called guardians by shamans, gods by pagans, and demons by churchmen, they themselves are indifferent to what we call them. Nonetheless they take an interest in our affairs and from time to time draw to them those who would travel a road not found on any of our cultural maps. David Kennesey accepts their invitation, not guessing that he must inure himself to betrayal, mass murder, and bestiality to attain the shattering enlightenment he has yearned for all his life.
