Description
Set in a remote orphanage in turn of the century Pennsylvania, Boys in the Valley is a chilling folk horror novel that tells the story of St. Vincent's Orphanage for Boys. Here, thirty boys live, work, and worship under the watchful eyes of several priests. For Peter Barlow, orphaned as a child, this is a new life, with friends, a future, and a family. But when a group of men arrives at the door, one of whom is badly wounded with occult symbols carved into his flesh, the tranquility is shattered.
The arrival of these men releases an ancient evil that spreads like sickness, infecting the orphanage and the children within. As the boys begin to act strangely, forming groups and taking sides, Peter and those dear to him must choose their allegiances, knowing that their lives - and perhaps their eternal souls - are at risk. With an unrelenting pace and a deftly-written tale, Fracassi crafts a story that is both poignant and unsettling, with a fast-paced and unflinching ending.
