"...do we join humanity's
collective cry for mercy,
with its certitudes and platitudes,
or do we just lift our heads
and gaze at the unfathomable heavens
for the undiscovered beauty
that awaits us all?"

"Not since Stephen King's "It," can I remember a book that so well captured the potential terror faced by teenagers about to enter the 'real world.' But "It" involved an other-worldly monster drawn from King's rich imagination. There are monsters, too, in 'Copperhead Road, ' but these monsters all have human faces."
