"The Pines" by Robert Dunbar

Deep within the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, a series of macabre murders draws ever nearer to the isolated farmhouse where a lonely woman struggles to raise her strange, disturbed son.

Only in recent years has horror literature degenerated into pulp fiction. The American horror novel draws on a venerable tradition: the works of literary giants like Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Ambrose Bierce and William Faulkner. Robert Dunbar’s THE PINES was the first horror novel ever to focus on the legend of the Leed’s Devil (America’s oldest oral myth tradition). Out of print for over a decade, the book had long been considered a lost classic. This hardback edition from Delirium Books constitutes the definitive version . . . with all previously censored material restored.

Legends linger

in the dark places of this earth

... legends as old as fear itself.
