Horror
From a brilliant new voice in horror comes a riveting
nightmare of ancient evil unleashed-and the bravery and
sacrifice of those called to combat it. In 1948, when he was
just a boy, Jimmy Kalmaku trained with his uncle to be the
shaman of his Tlingit village in Alaska. There he learned
the old legends, the old myths, the old secrets. Chief among
them was that of a mask locked in a prison of ice, and of
the faceless god imprisoned within: a cruel and vengeful god
called T'Nathluk, dedicated to the infliction of pain and
suffering. Now all but forgotten in a Seattle retirement
home, Jimmy finds his life turned upside down. For when an
unwitting archaeologist pries the mask free of its icy tomb,
he frees T'Nathluk as well. Stuck in spirit form, the
Faceless One seeks a human to serve as a portal through
which he can enter our reality. The Faceless One can
control-and mercilessly torture-anyone who touches the mask,
which means there is no shortage of slaves to ferry it
across the country to its chosen host. Yet the Faceless One
has foes as well: Stan Roberts, a tough New York cop whose
pursuit of justice will lead him into a dark abyss of the
soul; Steven, Liz, and Bobby, the family of the doomed
archaeologist; and Jimmy Kalmaku, who must at last become
the shaman of his boyhood dreams.
