When a rare mental disorder begins to consume his small-town neighbors, a young psychiatrist digs up the past for clues to the epidemicโs bone-chilling source in this brilliant supernatural horror debut, written in the bestselling tradition of Peter Straub. Convinced that evil spirits have overtaken his daughter, a desperate father introduces her to Nat Thayer, a young psychiatrist in their sleepy blue-blooded Massachusetts college town. Thayer quickly diagnoses the girl with Cotard Delusion, an obscure condition sometimes described as โwalking corpse syndrome.โ But Thayer soon realizes his patientโand many of the local familiesโare actually being targeted by a malignant force resurrected from the town's wicked history. Thayer must discover the source of the spreading plagueโฆbefore there is no one left to save.
