Ingaggiato per proteggere un uomo indispensabile per una potente multinazionale, Liam Halloran scopre presto che l'incarico affidatogli è tra i peggiori che gli siano capitati. Tutto, nel caso, si rivela infatti strano: il clima di segretezza che avvolge Felix Kline, lo sgradevole personaggio da sorvegliare a vista; le oscure minacce che riceve; e Kline stesso, un sensitivo capace di scoprire giacimenti minerari grazie alle proprie facoltà. Ma sono proprio questi poteri l'elemento più inquietante della storia, poichè gli consentono non solo di individuare l'oro, i diamanti e il petrolio nascosti nelle viscere della terra, ma anche di manipolare la psiche umana, asservendola ai suoi nefasti e turpi progetti. E Halloran si trova costretto a proteggere un simile mostro da una violenza che rischia di distruggere e travolgere tutto e tutti.

But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic. "What happened to us there was horrendous beyond belief. The healings, the crazy sect who wanted our home for themselves, the hideous creatures that crawled from the nether regions, and the bats -- oh God, the bats! Even now those terrible things seem impossible to me. Yet they happened..." 'Beautifully orchestrated crescendo of suspense...Herbert had brought the shivers back to the genre.' Washington Post

The mutant white rat had grown and mated, creating offspring in its own image. They dominated the others, the dark-furred ones, who foraged for food and brought it back to The Lair. Now the dark rats were restless, tormented by a craving they could not satisfy. But the white slug-like thing that ruled them knew. Its two heads weaved to and fro and a stickiness drooled from its mouth as it remembered the taste of human flesh.

He was a stringy mongrel wandering the streets, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness, the dog they called Fluke knew that he was once a man.
