"You're on the run. Marked. Don't think about the kid you used to be when you're homeless and dumpster-diving in the rain. Just eat whatever you find to keep your engine full. Because the shadow with too many teeth wants you tired. You're easier to catch when you're tired. It has hunted you since the summer of 1994, back when we confessed who we were through mixtapes. When every movie at the video store had dirty heads. You were thirteen and thought you knew who you were. Only the shadow with too many teeth knew you better. It still does. And it won't stop. Not until you come home."--

An uncompromising horror novel set on a remote Thai island where good and evil are interchangeable ... and even survival is a sin. From the award-winning author of HOUSE OF SIGHS and THE FALLEN BOYS.
