Dark Journey — A.R. Morlan

Like Stephen King's Salem's Lot, the town of Ewerton, Wisconsin is a bad place -- a VERY bad place! Whatever malignant spirit governs this little burg lost in the middle of bloody nowhere, it doesn't much like the people who live there. No one ever TRULY leaves Ewerton--not really! As Ardath Mayhar says, "The horror Morlan evokes is not so much occult as uniquely human--the worst of human traits are her stock in trade."
