At first his parents'' friends, the Boslowits family, think they have little to fear. Then, slowly, terribly, their fate is sealed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these two haunting novellas from the acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Evenings,\u003c\/i\u003e the world of childhood, in all its magic and strangeness, darkness and cruelty, is evoked with piercing wit and dreamlike intensity.
