Thomas Sullivan Livres

Some families have strange traditions. It has been passed down from generation to generation. An antique chair carved from a two-thousand-year-old tree. Steeped in history, this priceless heirloom has become part of a time-honored tradition in the Whitehall family. On the seventh birthday of every firstborn son, the chair is bequeathed to the next in line. Some children have strange fears. Now it's Joey's turn. But for some reason the boy doesn't want to inherit the chair. In fact, he's frightened of its grotesque carvings teeming with spires and gargoyles and tormented figures. He has dared sit in it only once-but never again. And yet it seems so important to Joey's father, who flies into a rage when Joey refuses to accept his birthright. And to Joey's uncle, who seems to be watching his every move. But the chair is only part of a darker family tradition. A tradition in which Joey must take his place-no matter how terrifying it seems.... He was born for it.

Finalist for the World Fantasy Award for best novel... Kurt Hauptmann will learn to make stained glass to help men see the glory of God, one of the many bizarre heritages handed down from his ancestry. But the family has other, more frightening secrets. The path to God runs through darkness as well as light. And the bond of a family is blood, its own and that of its enemies. What is the strangeness in Uncle Detlef, head of the stained-glass studio? Why has he descended from his cathedral roofs to steeplejack the perils of a secular world? What are his secrets? Why do the family's holy rites seem perverse? Most of all, why are men getting killed in bizarre, archaic ways here in South Florida? As Kurt gropes toward the truth, so does the tough and cynical cop, Jack Skelote. What lies before them is a limbo of murdered martyrs, unblessed, unholy, and unburied.
