Lee does a peachy job taking the formula pop-horror model and turning it into something that can be perceived on a larger scale. In the otherwise quaint little boondocks burg of Tylersville, something has the audacity to steal roadkill and dig up graves. Something is rotten in the state of Maryland. It’s Lee’s most mainstream work, and his most successful, selling over 50,000 units. The author has been known quite readily to lie, referring to GHOULS as his first novel. And the truth was much, much worse…Ī novel of unrelenting horror in the tradition of Dean Koontz. Deep in the fog-shrouded woods, he had seen the nightmare figures. How many more would be dragged off into an endless night, and for what hideous purpose? Fear led to wild speculations about psychopaths, crazed animals, vampires, and werewolves. Quiet moonlit nights gave way to a mindless slaughter, and to the sounds of hysterical screams… Graves had been opened, corpses unearthed and carried away.
Young girls had vanished without a trace. The sleepy town of Tylersville, Maryland was being stalked by an unimaginable evil, it had become the haunting-ground for horrors too grisly to be described. No one knew what went on in the sullen, dark house on the hill, but town cop Kurt Morris intended to find out.
