Synopsis

"The first time the children saw the Devil, he was sitting next to them in the second row of deck chairs in the bandstand. He wasbiting his nails." So begins the horrifying story of a madman loose in a small seaside townhis prey the very young and the very old. Seen through the eyes of Hilary, a precocious, highly imaginative, and lonely child, it is a chilling story about the perceptiveness of children, the blindness of parents, and the allure of strangers. As the adults carry on with their own grown-up antics, Hilary is led further and further into the twilight world of one man's terrifyingly distorted view of normal life. But will she have the sense to resist it?"
