Zephyr, Alabama isn’t just a sleepy town—it’s a place where magic hums just beneath the surface, and monsters wear familiar faces.
For Cory Jay Mackenson, growing up means learning that wonder and terror often walk hand in hand. He’s seen ghostly gatherings, survived floods teeming with snakes, and swapped stories with bootleggers lurking at the town’s edges. But nothing prepares him for the morning he and his father find a handcuffed corpse sunk in the town’s dark lake.
As Cory’s world tilts into something stranger and more sinister, he’ll confront mysteries deeper than childhood can contain—and glimpse the cost of crossing into adulthood.
Winner of the World Fantasy Award, Boy’s Life is Robert McCammon’s unforgettable coming-of-age masterpiece, steeped in wonder, horror, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.
