Robert R. McCammon captivated millions of readers with his storytelling power in such bestsellers as Mine, Swan Song and Stinger. Now he has created his tour de force: BOYТS LIFE, a masterpiece of magic and mystery, of the splendors of growing up in a small town, and of the wonders beyond. Narrated by one of the most engaging young voices in modern fiction, BOYТS LIFE takes us back to our own childhoods, when bicycles were enchanted steeds and anything was possibleЕ

Zephyr, Alabama, has been an idyllic home for eleven-year-old Cory MackensonЕ a place where monsters swim in the belly of the river, and friends are forever. Then, on a cold spring morning in 1964, as Cory accompanies his father on his milk route, they see a car plunge into a lake some say is bottomless. A desperate rescue attempt brings CoryТs father face-to-face with a vision that will haunt him: a murdered man, naked and beaten, handcuffed to the steering wheel, a copper wire knotted around his neck. As Cory struggles to understand the forces of good and evil at work in his hometown, from an ancient woman called the Lady who conjures snakes and hears the voices of the dead, to a violent clan of moonshiners, he realizes that not only his life but his fatherТs sanity may hang in the balanceЕ

УFOR SHEER SCREWBALL STORYTELLING EXUBERANCE, McCAMMONТS BOOK IS HARD TO TOP. There will be times when most adults will find themselves faintly embarrassed to be gobbling the thing like hot buttered popcorn, but gobble they will all the sameЕ Not one to husband his narrative energies, McCammon writes here as if he had several lives to squander, weaving togetherЕ enough plots and subplots to fill a half-dozen ordinary novels.Ф
