The Keeper (Keeper #1)
Author: Sarah Langan
Desc: Some believe Bedford Maine is cursed. Its bloody past endless rain and the decay of its downtown portend a hopeless future. With the death of its paper mill Bedford's unemployed residents soon find themselves with far too much time to dwell on thoughts of Susan Marley. Once the local beauty she's now the local whore. Silently prowling the muddy streets she watches eerily from the shadows waiting for . . . something. And haunting the sleep of everyone in town with monstrous visions of violence and horror. Those who are able will leave Bedford before the darkness fully ascends. But those who are trapped here-from Susan Marley's long-suffering mother and younger sister to her guilt-ridden alcoholic ex-lover to the destitute and faithless with nowhere else to go-will soon know the fullest and most terrible meaning of nightmare.
