Description
Classic contemporary horror from the Shamus and Derringer-winning author of Small Crimes.
Charlie is a Husker on the prowl in the New Hampshire wilderness when he falls in love with one of them: a girl named Jill. Loving Jill means leaving the Husk clan, with its gruesome cannibalistic rituals, and that will be far more difficult - and dangerous - than Charlie could have foreseen.
It's only in New York City that the secret to ending his terrible cravings may reveal itself - if it doesn't kill him and everything he has grown to love first.
A darkly imagined tale, all the more frightening for its apparent ordinariness and plausibility, Husk is guaranteed to leave readers shaken, stirred - and chilled to the bone.
