A young man awakes from a recurring nightmare to find that, once again, his apartment has been destroyed: the TV is on fire, the mirrors shattered, the aquarium exploded with such force that shards of glass are embedded in the opposite wall; and once again a voice is saying, Come home... And so he does. Home is the small Maine town where his parents were both killed in a grotesque car wreck years before. The kind of town Stephen King has described as 'mostly indifference spiced with an occasional vapid evil-or worse, a conscious one.' A small town caught in a centuries-old war between supernatural forces. This is a genuinely frightening tale of death and demons, love and possession.

Brief plot summary (no spoilers)
The book can be divided into three parts. In the first part, we meet the main character of the book, Eric Matthews, nee Langren, who is a drifter and who suffers from violent (and I do mean violent) nightmares. Eric wakes up from one nightmare in which he hears his father telling him to come home. Well, Eric's dad has been dead since Eric was 8, so he knows that he must drift a little more toward where he was born & lived until he was 8 -- a little town in Maine. We also meet the rest of the characters in the town.
In part two of this novel, weird things start to happen. Tempers are flaring, there is a bizarre murder/suicide, and other weird happenings. All of these events seem to coincide with the discovery and desecration of an ancient chamber in one of the town's caves. No one really knows what the heck is going on except Eric.
Obviously part three contains the climax of this book, but I don't want to go into that here just in case someone else decides to read this book.
I must have missed what the sealed up room in the church had to do with anything & I was kind of disappointed there, but the rest was pretty good. Considering it was a first effort, he didn't do too badly. ( )
