and Charity (G. Hannelius), known as the Santa Pups, sneak into

'The terror's exquisite. Fracassi's got his hand on the chisel
going into your chest' Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only
Good Indians 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. The Exorcist meets Lord of the
Flies, by way of Midnight Mass, Boys in the Valley is a chilling
folk horror set in a remote orphanage in turn of the century
Pennsylvania. Praise for Boys in the Valley: 'Fracassi makes terror
read so damn beautifully' Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling
'An unrelenting and highly entertaining show of horrors' Thomas
Olde Heuvelt, author of Hex 'A smart and deftly-written tale
instilled with the kind of creeping, claustrophobic horror I enjoy'
Nick Cutter, author of The Troop 'As poignant as it is chilling,
with a fast-paced, unflinching ending' Alma Katsu, author of The
Hunger 'The most unsettling novel I have read all year. Cold dread
clings to every page' Ronald Malfi, author of Black Mouth
'Harrowing and claustrophobic' Christopher Golden, author of Road
of Bones 'Fracassi. . . builds his horrific tales slowly and
carefully...he's especially skilful at creating, and sustaining,
suspense' The New York Times 'Gut-wrenching, heart breaking, and
terrifying' Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter 'Horror
readers will be hooked' Publishers Weekly 'A riveting, and
horrifying, tale of survival set against a punishing and vivid
backdrop.' Victor LaValle 'Fracassi. . . brings a depth of
understanding to his monsters, human and otherwise' Guardian
'Fracassi's storytelling is. . . horror with a big, broken heart'
Esquire 'His range, prolific output, and fast-paced prose are all
set to put him on the shelf next to names such as King, Straub, and
Thomas Harris' Signal Horizon
The Exorcist meets Lord of the Flies, by way of Midnight Mass, in
Boys in the Valley, a brilliant coming-of-age tale from
