In Kealan Patrick Burke's disturbing coming-of-age story, The Turtle Boy, 11-year-old Ohio native Timmy Quinn encounters an awfully odd-looking kid sitting by Myers Pond one hot summer day in 1979. Burke has edited a number of horror anthologies, including Taverns of the Dead. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
School is out and summer has begun. For eleven year old Timmy Quinn and his best friend Pete Marshall, the dreary town of Delaware Ohio becomes a place of magic, hidden treasure and discovery. But on the day they encounter a strange young boy sitting on the bank of Myers Pond a pond playground rumor says may hide turtles the size of Buicks everything changes. For it soon becomes apparent that dark secrets abound in the little community, secrets which come cupped in the hands of the dead, and in a heartbeat, Timmy and Pete's summer of wonder becomes a season of terror, betrayal and murder.
