Both a haunting coming-of-age story set in North Texas against the
backdrop of a deadly tornado, and a character-driven,
deeply-affecting supernatural thriller. In 1979, a massive tornado
devastates the city of Wichita Falls, Texas, leaving scores dead,
thousands homeless, and nine-year-old Todd Willis in a coma,
fighting for his life. Four years later, Todd awakens to a world
that looks the same but feels different in a way he can't quite
grasp. For Todd, it's a struggle to separate fact from fiction as
he battles lingering hallucinations from his long sleep. The new
friends Todd makes in 1983 are fascinated with his experience and
become mesmerized by his strange relationship with the world.
Together the five boys come of age during a dark, fiery summer
where they find first love, betrayal, and a secret so terrible they
agree to never speak of it again. But darkness returns to Wichita
Falls twenty-five years later, and the boys now men are forced to
reunite and confront the wounds from their past. When their
memories of that childhood summer refuse to align with reality, the
friends embark upon a search for truth that will threaten their
lives, and transform their understanding of each other and the
world itself forever. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade
and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for
readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel,
hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark,
sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk,
alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult
and supernatural), and much more. While not every title we publish
becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a
Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality
books from a diverse group of authors.
