A chilling new novel from the author of the cult smash bestseller STOLEN TONGUES, about a young boy who discovers a series of strange stone idols, only to realize that though these stones bestow incredible gifts on their owner, they come with a terrible price, perfect for fans of INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE or NEEDFUL THINGS.

"They've traveled the dark of forever. Now, they're yours."

A collection of wicked idols has appeared in Westmaple, falling into the hands of eleven-year-old Cole Graves. They come bearing wondrous gifts, and Cole quickly falls under their spell.

Soon, horror descends upon the quiet town. One by one, the statues unleash ancient curses that throw the boy's world into chaos. Shadows encroach upon his mind as the people he loves meet hideous ends.

At first a weird mystery, the arrival of the Sorrowstones sets off a nightmarish saga of death and madness—and Cole's dark quest to get rid of them.
