National Book Award winner Ann Arensberg brings readers a modern
horror story about evil descending on an insular Maine town It begins
with the theft of six candles from the church altar, a few herbs found
strewn in the local graveyard. In the summer of 1974, the prosperous
farming community of Dry Falls, Maine, is hit by a brutal heat wave.
Crops fail. Drought blights once-verdant lawns. Men inexplicably lose
all interest in sex, while women complain of erotic nocturnal
visitations. Farm animals give birth to monstrosities. An unholy,
unimaginable force is disrupting the natural order—and it seems to
be specifically targeting Dry Falls. Narrated by the careful and
practical Cora Whitman, wife of the town pastor, this tale of creeping
strangeness quickly turns sinister. Incubus subtly builds to its
shattering climax with Cora at its epicenter. Expertly interweaving
themes of faith, religion, and marriage with that of the supernatural,
this modern horror classic will enthrall fans of Ann Arensberg and
attract a legion of new readers.
