À propos de cet ebook
A child of evil follows his terrifying destiny in this cult horror classic from the New York Times–bestselling “master of the Gothic novel” (Booklist).
Mary Kate is an ordinary waitress stuck in a loveless marriage. But after surviving a brutal assault on the streets of New York, she finds herself pregnant with her attacker’s child—a boy who will prove to be anything but ordinary . . .
Mary and her husband try to give their son Jeffrey a good life, but they are no match for the mysterious forces at play. Jeffrey soon renames himself Baal and sets about cultivating his terrible power. From a deadly cult in California to an orgy of violence in Kuwait, Baal is there, leading the madness. But it is in the hellish wasteland of the Arctic that Baal will unleash the crowning triumph of his evil . . . and meet his ultimate fate.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur
One of the founders of the Horror Writers Association, Robert McCammon (b. 1952) is one of the country’s most accomplished authors of modern horror and historical fiction. Raised by his grandparents in Birmingham, Alabama, McCammon published his first novel, the Revelations-inspired Baal, when he was only twenty-six. His writings continued in a supernatural vein throughout the 1980s, producing such bestselling titles as Swan Song, The Wolf’s Hour, and Stinger. In 1991 Boy’s Life won the World Fantasy Award for best novel. After his next novel, Gone South, McCammon took a break from writing to spend more time with his family. He did not publish another novel until 2002’s Speaks the Nightbird. Since then he has followed “fixer” Matthew Corbett in two sequels, The Queen of Bedlam and Mister Slaughter. His newest novel is The Five. McCammon and his family continue to live in Birmingham.
