A riveting tale of satanic panic

Richard doesn’t have a past. For him, there is only the present: a new marriage and a pleasant life as an art teacher in Danvers, Virginia. Then the body of a rabbit, ritualistically murdered, appears on the school grounds with a birthday card for Richard. He doesn’t have a birthday—but Sean does.

Sean is a five-year-old boy who moved to Greenfield, Virginia, with his mother in the 1980s. When Sean’s school sends a letter to the parents revealing that Sean’s favorite teacher is under investigation, a white lie from Sean lights a fire that engulfs the entire nation.

Now, thirty years later, someone is here to remind Richard that they remember what Sean did. And though Sean doesn’t exist anymore, someone needs to pay the price for his lies.
