   Additional Information  
 
  One moment an electronics salesman in Georgia is out jogging, the next he's got a stray bullet in his head. He wakes up in intensive care with odd memories of standing with a Mayan man in front of a flat-topped pyramid. The savvy reader might surmise, "Ah, his brain damage has put him in contact with the past, or with another plane of reality." But veteran horror writer John Farris has more than one surprise up his sleeve before he reveals the horrifying fate awaiting this "perfect" father and the teenaged daughter he idolizes. And that's only half the book. The action moves down to Guatemala, where ensues a rollicking tale of adventure and terror. As Necrofile: The Review of Horror Fiction writes, "Sacrifice ... is [Farris's] strongest novel in years and redeems the reputation he established with The Fury and All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By as a writer skilled at breaking through banal exteriors to the heart of supernatural darkness beneath."
