    <![CDATA[For 100 years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered Nathaniel's name in wonder and fear. Some say he is a folktale, created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. But soon, very soon, some will learn that Nathaniel lives still--that he is darkly, horrifyingly real.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Love all of John Saul's books.  He focuses on teenagers, at least all the books of his that I've read were that way.  I empathized with his lead characters because I always feel like an outsider, which his characters always wind up being.  Saul mixes it all up with some Sci-fi to boot.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[For a hundred years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered Nathaniel's name in wonder and fear.  Some say he is a folktale, created to frighten children on cold winter nights.  Some swear he is a terrifying spirit retumed to avenge the past.  But soon . . . very soon . . . some will learn that Nathaniel lives still--that he is darkly, horrifyingly real.  Nathaniel--he is the voice that calls to young Michael Hall across the prairie night . . . the voice that draws the boy into the shadowy depths of the old, crumbling, forbidden barn . . . that chanting, compelling voice he will follow faithfully beyond the edge of terror.<br/><br/>Book club edition]]>
