From the back cover:
This is what he remembers, as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane:
A dead man on the back seat of the car,
and warm milk at the farmhouse;
An ancient little girl, and an old woman
who saw the moon being made;
A beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous smile;
And dark forces woken that were best left undisturbed.
They are memories hard to believe, waiting at the edges of things. The recollections of a man who thought he was lost but is now, perhaps, remembering a time when he was saved...

I'm here.
I enjoyed the book. It's a bit of a scary kids' story. I remember being scared of shadows when very young - now I know that it's the people in the shadows you have to be wary of.
Thanks for sharing this, LadyIndigo.
