But the deep quiet that surrounds her offers few clues about the fate of the town's inhabitants.

But as the truth unfolds -- a truth that Paige sees in the flesh -- it is worse than anything she could have ever imagined...]]> 1983 4 0 false Sun Dec 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 15 10:03:15 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 21 08:53:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 60938148 2310105 32435 0425181103 9780425181102 192 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168390808m/32435.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168390808s/32435.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32435.Phantoms 3.67 4505
