In the rural town of Auburn, Ontario, everyone knows Mikey Childress—and they won’t let him forget it. At sixteen, Mikey is “different.” He reads horror novels, listens to Madonna, and dreams of love and acceptance. The bullies at school ensure he feels nothing but pain and loneliness.
Only Wroxy, his best friend, knows how deeply Mikey suffers. But even she doesn’t realize the darkness lurking within him. When his tormentors push him too far, Mikey makes a desperate pact with evil, unleashing a force that will bring vengeance to his enemies—and terror to everyone else.
What begins as a cry for justice spirals into something far more sinister, as Mikey transforms his teenage nightmare into hell on Earth. Auburn will never be the same.
