Excerpt
It was the summer of '84 when I set out to find the house of Ian Generis, a psychic I'd heard about from a neighbor who dabbled in the occult. I didn't have far to go. A twenty minute drive would take me to the back streets of Tuckahoe, a little trainstop of a town just south of the more affluent suburban neighborhoods. I drove slowly with the windows down, noticing a hot sirocco-like wind coming in, tingeing everything with a hint of the surreal. Leaving the highway, the larger, imposing residences gave way to the small, close together clapboards that one sees on the main streets of industrial towns. I glanced at the address I had written and turned onto Fielding Lane, a street of wooden row houses, cement sidewalks and pocket-sized yards. Parking in front of number twenty-five, I locked my car and took a moment to look over my surroundings.
