Description: Thunder Rise by G. Wayne Miller - Hardcover, DJ, 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. “Relentlessly gripping this debut novel is classically responsive to the adage that fictional horror is far more vivid in daylit, familiar surroundings than in darkly dripping gothic vistas. Morgan town, an old, white clapboard and steepled town in the lovely Berkshires of westem Massachusetts: America could have few settings as idyllic and inviting or as deadly. Up against the towering mass of Thunder Rise, the mountain behind which the sun sets every evening Morgantown is cowering-from a nameless, lethal, and seemingly sourceless malady that threatens the populace through its most vulnerable members, the children. Journalist Brad Gale, who has fled a broken marriage and given up a top New York job, has come to Morgantown seeking a serener life as editor of the local Daily Transcript. With him he brings five-year-old Abbie, "Apple Guy" of his eye. When the mysterious affliction strikes Morgantown's youngest inhabitants, signaled by soul shattering nightmares of individual creatures of dread-a bear, a wolf, a prehistoric carnivore-and followed by an inexorable wasting away, Brad knows it is a story to be explored in full. Then Abbie is stricken and Brad too must join in deadly battle with a force beyond rational imagining. As more children sicken and slide toward doom, the struggles of the medical establishment seem increasingly futile. Even a trained and doffing skeptic like Brad becomes reluctantly and belatedly drawn to listen to the beliefs and theories of Charlie Moonlight, a Quidneck Indian who speaks of the primordial demon lurking in the heart of Thunder Rise now stirring anew. At the end battle of terror is drawn -with the reader enlisted in as close and fateful combat as the printed page can ever ford.” About Thrifi: We’re reopening 2021!
