PROLOGUE
Arondale, California, 1971
“Get away!” his mother screamed. “Get away from my house!”
The face stared in from the window, a horrible face slicked by rain and shadowed by a night, allowing only glimpses of its distorted features.
Candlelight quivered in the storm-darkened house, causing shadow patterns on the wall to bob, images and sensations for which the potent nightmares of Max Higgins’s seven years had ill-prepared him.
“Mom,” he uttered.
No answer. Cynthia Higgins threw frenetic glances at the window.
“Mom... can you call people?”
Those were his first words in an hour. It felt weird to speak. For much of the storm, he’d been immersed in the drawings now scattered about him.
“Phone is dead,” said his mother. “Phone is dead but baby God is here with us and we need no one else.”
God is here. God... the face in the window?
No. God comforted. This demon of the watery darkness provided no comfort.
A crack came against the window, spidery, something thrown, followed by a voice.
“Hey!” a man yelled.
“Go away!”
