Ned was only a kid, but he knew. There were forces that stalked the night. Like that night in Washington when his mother almost died and he heard them. In the house, at the dead of night he heard them. Then they moved to the tiny seacoast town of Lynnington, he still knew, even there, something was coming after him. In the end, Ned must face the terror alone. He must seek out the phantoms on their own ground and fight them for his very soul. Through a long night of cataclysmic battle... It's him up against them...
I collect horror novels and this particular author is one of the finest. Mr. Tessier's not had as successful career as many other better known hack writers (King,Laymon,Koontz) he's had bad publishers, shoddy packaging, absolutly no promotion. "Phantom" is not his strongest work but it's definately not boring either, it's also a very short scary book and he doesn't bog you down with an excessive labrynthine plot, he's a very visual thinking person's writer of psychological horror who gets right to the point. Give him a try I certainly didn't regret it, I own everything he's ever written and when I get discouraged with the hacks I'll pick up one of Tessier's and reread it. Brief Synopsis from the back cover since one wasn't provided above; Ten-year-old Ned Covington is afraid. There are monsters in his room. His friends think he's imagining them. But he knows they're real. The grown-ups say they will go away in the daylight. But it's daytime now. And they're coming after him... Gripping, compelling, recreating the nightmares you KNEW were real when you were a child, PHANTOM is the story of what happens when the lights come on... and the horror doesn't go away.
