Black House

Two of the greatest storytellers of our time join forces to create an epic thriller of unsurpassed power; a twisting; compelling story of a small American town held in the grip of evil beyond all reason. French Landing; Wisconsin. A comfortable; solid middle-American town inhabited by comfortable; solid middle-Americans! and a serial killer. Three children have been lost -- taken by a monster with a taste for child's flesh nicknamed 'The Fisherman' after a legendary murderer. It's all way beyond the experience of the local police; whose only hope lies with ex-detective Jack Sawyer; the man who cracked their last case for them. But; plagued by visions of another world; Jack has retired to this rural retreat precisely to avoid such horrors -- and; having recognized the touch of madness on this case; he's keeping well away. Soon; he'll have no choice. Young Tyler Marshall; left behind one afternoon by his bullying friends; pedals past the local old folks' home and is accosted by a crow. 'Gorg;' it caws; and 'Ty.' What ten-year-old could resist a bird that speaks his name? Not Ty; that's for sure. And as he follows the mysterious crow; he's grabbed by the neck and dragged into a hedge. The Fisherman has made another catch!
