The Between

Now, thirty years later, she is coming to him again--appearing in nightmares more vivid and horrible than anything he has ever experienced. As a racist, psychotic monster stalks his life and children, Hilton James is trapped in the Between--unablke to separate the real from the surreal, the dream terrors from the waking ones--and must race to solve the mystery before everything he loves slips violently and and inalterably away.Part horror novel, part detective story, and part speculative fiction ► Part horror novel, part detective story, and part speculative fiction, The Between . . . is a finely honed work that always engages and frequently surprises. ◄ New York Times Book Review
