"In me are the memories of a boy's life, spent in that realm of
enchantments. These are the things I want to tell you...."
Robert McCammon delivers "a tour de force of storytelling"
("BookPage") in his award-winning masterpiece, a novel of Southern
boyhood, growing up in the 1960s, that reaches far beyond that
evocative landscape to touch readers universally.
"Boy's Life" is a richly imagined, spellbinding portrait of the
magical worldview of the young -- and of innocence lost.
Zephyr, Alabama, is an idyllic hometown for eleven-year-old Cory
Mackenson -- a place where monsters swim the river deep and friends
are forever. Then, one cold spring morning, Cory and his father
witness a car plunge into a lake -- and a desperate rescue attempt
brings his father face-to-face with a terrible, haunting vision of
death. As Cory struggles to understand his father's pain, his eyes
are slowly opened to the forces of good and evil that surround him.
From an ancient mystic who can hear the dead and bewitch the
living, to a violent clan of moonshiners, Cory must confront the
secrets that hide in the shadows of his hometown -- for his
father's sanity and his own life hang in the balance....
