The Keeper by Sarah Langan
She lives in their dreams. They die in hers
'Akin to the more ambitious work of Stephen King..this effective debut promises great things to come.' -- Publishers Weekly '[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] brilliant debut, heralding the arrival of a major talent.' -- Tim Lebbon, author of DUSK and BERSERK 'A dark and bracingly bleak tale of supernatural terror.' -- Ramsey Campbell, author of SECRET STORY '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 'Deft and disturbing... twists expectations into surreal surprises... hypnotic reading - an assured and impressive debut.' -- Douglas E. Winter '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 new author on the block is definitely a keeper...' -- Edward Bryant, Locus Magazine '[THE KEEPER] will scare the heck out of you.' -- OK! Magazine 'THE KEEPER's a smart, brand-new take on the haunted house story. In vivid, compelling prose, which runs from the wry to the lyrical, Langan here gives us nothing less than a sharply realized portrait of an American town in the death-throes of decay. Susan Marley is a subtle juggernaut of a character --and she inhabits the mind once you've finished like a dark, lingering smoke.' -- Jack Ketchum, author of OFFSPRING 'Sarah Langan is scary, very scary... She mixes in bits of Stephen King, Lovecraft, Poe and Peter Straub, then pours out a thoroughly original and nasty concoction all her own... For one truly creepy read, latch on to The Keeper. Your dreams will never be the same.' -- CLARION LEDGER
