Loved this one! ? It has that old school horror feel to the writing but McCammon also gives us some sci-fi here as well with the "creature" being an alien who has come to Earth to capture another alien. Set this all in Inferno, a small Texas town full of interesting characters, and you have an action packed propulsive story full of gore and jump scares.
I am loving this book. Robert McCammon has become one of my favorite horror writers. I bought this first book club edition off of eBay. It gives me that cozy feel of reading library books in the 80s. ❤️ The story is not what I expected and I LOVE it!
Excellent sci-fi horror mashup set in a dying Texas town riven by gang violence and economic decline which becomes the backdrop to a titanic struggle between two alien civilisations. Beyond the mayhem is a moving tale of personal redemption and reconciliation. Great stuff.
In the remote Texas town of Inferno, a creature of evil beyond anything the world has ever encountered descends. He traps the town and ravages the land with grisly executions and horrible mutations . . . until the people rise up in a final, desperate battle.
Mccammon is one of my favourite authors, it's like he writes books JUST for me! 😃💯

You don't see lots of McCammon stuff out in the wild while thrift storing, so finding five at the same one is quite a treat.
#AmIWrong in thinking these are the same book. Both take place in smalltown U.S.A. Both have invisible forcefields that allow nothing in or out. Both are there by extraterrestrial influence. Both show the horrible side of humanity in pressure cooker situations. 🤔 Robert did it better, though I enjoyed both. I can't help but think that they both watched the Twilight Zone episode The Monsters are Due on Maple Street when they were kids.
Old fashioned pulp. Great read on the beach.
