Decades ago, Dan and Grace Robertson encountered a childhood
legend: Bicycle Bob. Some say he's an insane drifter with a taste
for blood. Others call him evil made flesh and claim his touch will
poison your soul. Some say he's just another country ghost story.
Now, Dan is a cemetery caretaker who prefers the solace of his work
to the complexities of living people. Grace persists as a
strung-out addict living on the fringes. Grace has set a desperate
plan in motion, and Dan is the only one who knows the root of her
madness. He alone can uncover the unholy monstrosity hungering
beneath the surface of a dying town.
David Peak's The River Through the Trees is a grotesque of
impoverished rural life, a life of quiet acceptance broken only by
drugs, death metal, desecration, and the teachings of an ancient
book. Combining the compelling pacing of Lehane, the cosmic terror
of Lovecraft, and the defunct modernity of Ligotti, it is a taut,
disturbing story whose haunting images bring to mind the dark
places we do our best to ignore.
DAVID PEAK is the author of Surface Tension and Glowing in the
Dark.
