About the Book

A remote and affluent Maine community, Corpus Christi was untouched by the environmental catastrophe that destroyed the neighboring blue-collar town of Bedford. But all that will change in a heartbeat . . . The nightmare is awakened when third-grade schoolteacher Lois Larkin takes the children on a field trip to Bedford. There in the abandoned woods, a small, cruel boy unearths an ancient horror--a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry . . . and inhuman. The long, dark night is just beginning. And all hope must die as the contagion feeds--for the malevolence will not rest until it has devoured every living soul in Corpus Christi . . . and beyond.

Review :
"Langan has the control of a pro...." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A genuine creepfest that recalls, in the best way possible, the early work of Stephen King" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Langan has crafted a grisly horror story that will keep you out of the woods for years to come." -- BookPage "Langan has a sharp eye for the small vivid details of American life, and her characters are utterly believable." -- London Times on The Keeper "...innovative, sharp, and absolutely chilling..." -- Brian Keene, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Ghoul and Dead Sea "THE MISSING is reminiscent of Stephen King's Salem's Lot with wicked drops of Koontz, Barker, and Straub." -- J.C. Patterson "[THE MISSING is] as engrossing as a dagger poised at one's throat." -- J.C. Patterson "An astonishing first novel...chilling, haunting, and so smartly written that the pages fly by like the wind." -- Ray Garton, author of THE LOVELIEST DEAD "THE KEEPER kept me up, late into the night...I'm hoping for a whole shelf of novels by Langan." -- Kelly Link, author of MAGIC FOR BEGINNERS "[A] brilliant debut, heralding the arrival of a major talent." -- Tim Lebbon, author of DUSK and BERSERK "A smart, brand-new take on the haunted house story...hard to believe this is a first novel." -- Jack Ketchum, author of OFFSPRING "[A] distinct and juicy flavor all its own. THE KEEPER begins what should be a very fruitful career." -- Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author of IN THE NIGHT ROOM "A dark and bracingly bleak tale of supernatural terror." -- Ramsey Campbell, author of SECRET STORY "Akin to the more ambitious work of Stephen King...this effective debut promises great things to come." -- Publishers Weekly "Deft and disturbing... twists expectations into surreal surprises... hypnotic reading - an assured and impressive debut." -- Douglas E. Winter "Echoes of Stephen King resound...the first fruits of a most promising career." -- Washington Times "...The new author on the block is definitely a keeper..." -- -Edward Bryant, Locus
