The Exorcist meets Lord of the Flies, by way of Midnight Mass, in
Boys in the Valley, a brilliant coming-of-age tale from
award-winning author Philip Fracassi. "A sublimely chilling story."
--Library Journal, STARRED review St. Vincent's Orphanage for Boys.
Turn of the century, in a remote valley in Pennsylvania. Here,
under the watchful eyes of several priests, thirty boys work,
learn, and worship. Peter Barlow, orphaned as a child by a gruesome
murder, has made a new life here. As he approaches adulthood, he
has friends, a future...a family. Then, late one stormy night, a
group of men arrive at their door, one of whom is badly wounded,
occult symbols carved into his flesh. His death releases an ancient
evil that spreads like sickness, infecting St. Vincent's and the
children within. Soon, boys begin acting differently, forming
groups. Taking sides. Others turn up dead. Now Peter and those dear
to him must choose sides of their own, each of them knowing their
lives -- and perhaps their eternal souls -- are at risk.
