In an isolated school for boys with emotional problems, a disturbed adolescent struggles against a mire of superstition and oppression. Then he meets Willy, and the other boy - charismatic and strange - saves him ... or damns him. WILLY, an atmospheric novel of suspense by the author of THE PINES, THE SHORE and MARTYRS & MONSTERS, becomes both an evocation of painful growth and a dark psychological thriller.

Willy is a dark and powerful exploration of adolescence, alienation, and identity. I was captivated from the first page, and the book epitomizes the slow-burn, mounting suspense, and psychological horror that I find so gratifying—and so rare. Without hyperbole I can call this novel unforgettable. It will really get under your skin.
