Stephen King described this book as "authentically terrifying," and he was not kidding. Rob, an unhappily married mother of two daughters, fears her oldest, Callie, may be dangerous. Her fears are rooted not just in Callie's unnerving behavior, but also in Rob's own past. She takes Callie back to her childhood home, Sundial, to end the danger once and for all. Chilling, riveting and deeply disturbing, this was an unforgettable horror story.
