Hidden within the Pitch Pines of Cyclone Cove forty-five years
prior, Wyvern Way becomes a sinister backdrop when a young autistic
child bears witness to atrocity. Rescued by an unlikely source, the
two make a final pact that resonates throughout the future
generations of the town.
Though small, the municipal of Cyclone Cove sits at the very
apex of cutting-edge technology, thanks to the giant computing
firm: Azarcheal Systems Conglomerate. Led by Samara Reagan, the ASC
maintains its stranglehold through means sometimes not of the human
world ...
Elusive and equally mysterious, Norman Perks is a wealthy
recluse whose house looks down upon the town like a haunted idol -
and whose love of the written word propels him to chronicle the
ongoing story of Cyclone Cove.
And at the heart of this story lives Davey Ribbon ... a gifted
child shrouded in urban legend and the keeper of a legacy now grown
to near mythic proportions. As a ghost story for children like the
Barlow twins, and an allegory for grown-ups like Jerry Reed and
Sean Hunt: Davey's tale is about to climax. And when the annual
Cyclone Fair comes rolling into town, it won't just be the wealthy
and powerful who have a part to play in Davey's endgame saga.
"Small town setting, small town folk, epic story. Once again,
Tait delivers." Daniel I Russell, author of "Mothers Boys" and
"Critique"
"Just like his ghostly character, Davey Ribbon, author Matthew
Tait latches on with haunting prose that doesn't let go until the
very end." Greg Chapman, author of "The Noctuary" and "The Last
Night of October"
"Matthew Tait invites us to visit Cyclone Cove, a coastal
community whose bizarre inhabitants and creepy landmarks have all
crept out of the author's gothic imagination. This story reads like
a macabre fairy-tale. And yet somehow, it manages to ring true,
giving you that creeping feeling that it could all be real - that
Cyclone Cove could be just down the road from your town." Cameron
Trost, owner of Black Beacon Books and author of "Hoffman's Creeper
and Other Disturbing Tales"
