Описание:

People had been vanishing from Devils Elbow, Kentucky, for over 60 years. On July 4^th, 1971, they all came walking out of the Ohio River.

Sixteen-year-old Cadillac witnesses a Bible-camp bus plunge off mountainous Devils Elbow Road into the Ohio River. The next day, July 4^th, 1971, Cadillac and other local residents witness the emergence of The Dead from the river--not just the children from the bus, one of whom is Cadillacs secret crush, but dozens of people who have disappeared over the past six decades. Devils Elbow is a town with its share of horrors, even without Dead people walking out of the river, and residents are divided in how they see The Dead. Some see gruesome walking corpses. Others see normal, beautiful loved ones. Conflicts build between those who accept The Dead and those who want them gone. Soon The Dead discover they cannot sleep and have no desire for food--not until a terrifying hunger overcomes them. Cadillac, looking back from fifty years later, describes the horrific and redeeming events that follow.

Spencer proves once again that he is a master story-teller. An Untimely Frost will keep you up late, first to finish it, then to think about it It has all the glorious gore of a true horror novel, but there is much more that lies beneath. This book will leave you asking yourself: What is real? What is merely perceived reality? Does true love last forever? Dont miss this one --Rhonda G. Williams, author of Girl Brown

An innovation for the fresh generation of readers looking for a new Walking Dead, but it is also so beautifully written that an old lady like me can dig it.--Cherri Randall, author of One Vanilla Orchid

If you think you know the Dead, think again. Mark Spencer weaves an artful tale of colorful, fresh, and horrific characters (think Faulkner, Serling, and King) in his coming-of-age book. An original and beautiful story of life, death and romance--in that order.--R. L. Gemmill, author of Doomsday

A spooky page-turner with more twists and turns than a mountain highway -- Sylvia Ann McLain, author of Spinning Jenny

Mark Spencers novel An Untimely Frost surprises and delights. Its a horror story combined with romance, a coming-of-age story spiced with humor. At the same time, profound themes emerge: the nature of reality, the complexities of relationships, traditional vs. alternate views of life after death. An entertaining and thought-provoking read.--Constance McKee, author of the Girl in the Mirror.

Mark Spencers breathtaking new novel, An Untimely Frost, is many things--a Southern horror story, a love story, a commentary on what divides us--but mostly its the tangled adventure of sixteen-year-old Cadillac as he navigates through deaths and awakenings in his cloistered hometown, Devils Elbow. Mark has masterfully combined colorful prose with a fast-paced plot to create a novel I simply couldnt put down. I read it in one sitting.--Rich Marcello, author of The Beauty of the Fall

An Untimely Frost is a gripping brew of horror and humor, love and hunger--with unexpected chilling twists and a creepy but oddly satisfying ending.--Dawn Lajeunesse, author of In Her Mothers Shoes and Autumn Colors

An Untimely Frost features vividly drawn characters in a deeply atmospheric setting. It really grabbed me. Vivid and chilling.--Barbara Barnett, Bram Stoker Award Finalist, author of The Apothecarys Curse and The Alchemy of Glass

...a wickedly comic romp...--Steve Heller, author of The Automotive History of Lucky Kellerman, winner of the O Henry Award
