GRAVEWALKER

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7 1888. Northern Minnesota. A great evil of murdered children rise out the grave. They rise from a terrible and faraway place called 'Dollhouse.' It is a mass grave deep in the Minnesota wilderness. Reanimated by a hideous angel of death, the children are re-created as dolls; all of them bearing white dresses and black eyes and insatiable hunger for human suffering. The dolls descend from the trees and bending rows of corn to find their still living parents. Survivors are overtaken by great sorrowing and unyielding misery. Among them is Jack Carson. He is a former outlaw trying to atone for his sins. But, when he is left behind what he thinks is the rapture, Jack grows spiteful. He survives by accepting offers that feed his former legend as ‘Carson that find, Carson that kill.’ And one day, because of this reputation, Jack accepts a strange offer from a man named Andrei. Andrei is a Russian immigrant driven to find his missing children who not been devoured by the dolls . . . but taken by them. To find Andrei's missing children, the men embark on a journey that weighs their souls in the sweltering conflicts of love, faith and the blistering will to survive in a funeral procession, widowed world. "GRAVEWALKER" is a gallant and imposing sprawl, a grinding and torturous tale. Subtle beauty, abyssal hollowness. Vicious primal brutality. It is epic horror, colossal tragedy. Brooding and austere. "GRAVEWALKER" is a rare novel by a rare author. Huber is at his best here. Unrivaled in raw emotion, unparalleled in intensity. Relentlessly obsessed with abyssal depravity and degradation. Brutal, yet tender. Big and bold and emotional horror with a blackened draw that horror desperately needs more of. **DISCLAIMER: PRODUCT CONTAINS INTENSE SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE, GORE, TERROR, SOME LANGUAGE, SOME SEXUALITY AND DISTURBING IMAGES.
