(4) YA A hit-and-run results in the amputation of Willie's arm. Summer only gets more frightening after another boy is killed. Hounded by fear--and by worried adults--the town's young men go through transformations as sinister as the forces threatening them. Though the writing could be subtler, the story provides a dark, brutal look at how monsters around us can arouse monsters within.
