      About This Book

      #1 New York Times bestselling author Peter Straub's classic tale of horror, secrets, and the dangerous ghosts of the past...
       
      What was the worst thing you've ever done?
       
      In the sleepy town of Milburn, New York, four old men gather to tell each other stories—some true, some made-up, all of them frightening. A simple pastime to divert themselves from their quiet lives.
       
      But one story is coming back to haunt them and their small town. A tale of something they did long ago. A wicked mistake. A horrifying accident. And they are about to learn that no one can bury the past forever...
