The town of Stillwater has a very unwelcome resident.
The town of Stillwater has been dying - the long and painful death of a town ravaged by floods and haunted by the ghosts of all who had lived there. Yet this most recent flood has brought something with it - a creature that nests among the good folks of Stillwater...and feeds off them. The children who haven't disappeared whisper the same word - "vampire". But they're wrong. What has come to Stillwater is something much more horrific.

Stillwater, MD is trying to hold it’s head above water as torrential downpours have been flooding the area. The body of a hairless boy is washed up in the local culvert called The Narrows. No one knows who he is, nor is anyone from the neighboring towns have a missing child that would fit the description. Two pre-teen boys, Matthew and Dwight, decide to hike out to The Narrows to check out the dead body of a deer that was seen by a classmate, Matthew thinks he sees the figure of his father, who left his mother, sister and him a couple of years ago, in an abandoned plastic factory that resides by the bank of The Narrows. After a reluctant search of the spooky building doesn’t yield anything, the boys head for home. The next day, Matthew is missing and no one knows where he is. At first, Stillwater Deputy Ben Journell chalks it up as another case of a runaway kid that’ll come home after a day or two. But when Ben gets called out in the middle of the night to the scene of an accident where Maggie Quedentock claims she hit a pale, hairless boy on a desolate road, he’s not so sure anymore. Strange things keep happening and the small town isn’t the only thing that feels like it’s dying.
Malfi combines that pulpy 80’s storytelling and small town charm without suffering from any copycat syndrome. The Narrows is its own monster, and I’d hold it up against any other paperback out there. This is one of those stories that would make a fantastic movie with those wonderful tidbits of Salem’s Lot, The Fly, Fright Night, and Stranger Things all rolled into one. If it ever were, I’d be sitting right there on opening night.
