(3) YA Drawing its emotional power from a rocky but sporadically tender father-son relationship, Sedgwick's folkloric thriller tells the story of steadfast Peter; his drunk, haunted father Tomas; and the winter epidemic of undead "hostages" that overtakes their small village. The spareness of setting, character, and threat heightens the dreamlike atmosphere, and chill-seekers will not be disappointed.
