Dark of the Eye

A Supernatural Thriller

A girl named Hope becomes the prey in a monstrous hunt in this chilling supernatural thriller from New York Times bestselling author Douglas Clegg. A tragic accident leaves young Hope Stewart with an extraordinary power that is both blessing and curse. Her touch alone can heal those suffering from horrifying afflictions...or subject them to an unspeakable fate.

Hope's scientist father is determined to exploit her frightening gift, a relentless government agent is out to kill her -- and a damaged soul called Monkey vows to deliver her to the mercies of the fiendish forces he serves...

For fans of Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and Guillermo del Toro.

"An omnibus of unexpected horrors!" -- Publisher's Weekly.

“Douglas Clegg knows exactly what scares us, and he knows just how to twist those fears into hair-raising chills…” – Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of the Rizzoli & Isles series.
