Davey Ribbon

Résumé du livre

Hidden within the Pitch Pines of Cyclone Cove forty-five years prior, Wyvern Way becomes a sinister backdrop when a young autistic child bears witness to atrocity. Rescued by an unlikely source, the two make a final pact that resonates throughout the future generations of the town.

Though small, the municipal of Cyclone Cove sits at the very apex of cutting-edge technology, thanks to the giant computing firm: Azarcheal Systems Conglomerate. Led by Samara Reagan, the ASC maintains its stranglehold through means sometimes not of the human world ...

Elusive and equally mysterious, Norman Perks is a wealthy recluse whose house looks down upon the town like a haunted idol - and whose love of the written word propels him to chronicle the ongoing story of Cyclone Cove.

And at the heart of this story lives Davey Ribbon ... a gifted child shrouded in urban legend and the keeper of a legacy now grown to near mythic proportions. As a ghost story for children like the Barlow twins, and an allegory for grown-ups like Jerry Reed and Sean Hunt: Davey's tale is about to climax. And when the annual Cyclone Fair comes rolling into town, it won't just be the wealthy and powerful who have a part to play in Davey's endgame saga.

Small town setting, small town folk, epic story. Once again, Tait delivers. ~ Daniel I Russell, author of Mothers Boys and Critique

Just like his ghostly character, Davey Ribbon, author Matthew Tait latches on with haunting prose that doesn't let go until the very end. ~ Greg Chapman, author of The Noctuary and The Last Night of October

Matthew Tait invites us to visit Cyclone Cove, a coastal community whose bizarre inhabitants and creepy landmarks have all crept out of the author's gothic imagination. This story reads like a macabre fairy-tale. And yet somehow, it manages to ring true, giving you that creeping feeling that it could all be real - that Cyclone Cove could be just down the road from your town. ~ Cameron Trost, owner of Black Beacon Books and author of Hoffman's Creeper and Other Disturbing Tales
