Tom's Crossing

"A magisterial, page-turning epic about a young boy and girl and their journey through the icy mountains of Utah to lead two horses to freedom"--

"This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you'll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there's so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it." - Stephen King

Hard to figure how so much awful horror could've started out with just them two horses and not a one yet named...

From the bestselling author of House of Leaves comes a magisterial novel about two friends determined to rescue a pair of horses set for slaughter.

While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop, Utah, back in the fall of 1982, not to mention the trials that followed, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines.

For sure no one expected the dead to rise, but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either, but it did. No one expected an act of courage so great, and likewise so appalling, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif, to say nothing of Pillars Meadow.

As one Orvop high school teacher described that extraordinary feat just days before she died, "Fer sure no one expected Kalin March to look Old Porch in the eye and tell him - You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards."
