In his quiet home in rural America, Taft sits and wonders what's missing from his life. He's at a loss until a strange voice startles him from the rocking chair, where a stranger has seemingly appeared out of nowhere: well-dressed and smooth-talking, this man offers Taft the chance to have anything he's ever wanted-for a price.
So begins The Devil in the Valley, the latest novel by the critically acclaimed author Castle Freeman. Combining a deft hand for the supernatural with his classic setting of rural Vermont, Freeman gives us a story that touches on temptation and greed, and explores what we're willing to trade to get the things we most desire. A modern fable that explores the supernatural while staying deeply rooted in our world, The Devil in the Valley is a powerful novel from a master at his craft.
