Ritualistic child slayings draw an FBI profiler and British mystic to the town of Junction, Alabama, just as a young woman seeks shelter on her father's farm. Rebecca Caliban is pregnant, tormented by the belief her dead husband came to her in the night, leaving her with child. She descends into madness as the investigators battle the killer, an ageless shapeshifter preying upon the innocent in service to a forgotten god. Becca's child reaches his 18th birthday as a new church rises on the site of the Changeling's pyre - and a girl goes missing in Junction. The souleater awakens, its hungry call stirring the restless spirits haunting the tiny town. And a desperate final battle begins.
Previously serialized as three novellas, GIANTS IN THE EARTH is the first volume in an ongoing series, The Caliban Cycle. This edition includes never-before-published bonus material about the origins of the tale and a sneak preview excerpt from the sequel, coming in 2016.
