Corpus Christi is a quiet, wealthy community in Maine. It survived the fire of neighboring Bedford. A building full of chemicals was burned, along with most of Bedord. Dozens of people were killed by the fumes. Wildlife and vegetation was destroyed as well. A year later, the EPA declares Bedford safe. Lois Larkin, a third-grade schoolteacher, takes her class on a field trip to Bedford. Her students would love to explore the “ghost-town”. Instead, a evil once buried is revealed, and is spread like wildfire to all of Corpus Christi. Victims are transformed into hungry, violent creatures. Those that aren’t transformed die a horried and painful death. There appears to be no stopping this horrid plague. It’s hunger cannot be stifled, and it spreads beyond the confines of once tranquil Corpus Christi.
THE MISSING was an chilling tale from the beginning. Langan has great talent, very reminescent of Stephen King. Highly recommended to anyone seeking a good scare!!
