“This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you’ll find a
blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there’s so much
more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it.” —Stephen King "Epic. . . . The
beauty of this elaborate novel goes beyond the page-turning plot. . . . Fans of Danielewski’s
House of Leaves will clamor for his first major stand-alone novel in 25 years.” — Library
Journal starred review Hard to figure how so much awful horror could've started out with
just them two horses and not a one yet named... From the bestselling author of House of
Leaves comes a magisterial novel about two friends determined to rescue a pair of horses set
for slaughter. While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of
Orvop Utah back in the fall of 1982 not to mention the trials that followed far more
remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines. For sure no one expected the
dead to rise but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either but it did. No one
expected an act of courage so great and likewise so appalling that it still staggers the
heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif to say nothing of
Pillars Meadow. As one Orvop high school teacher described that extraordinary feat just days
before she died Fer sure no one expected Kalin March to look Old Porch in the eye and tell
him: You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards.
