First published by Doubleday in 1978, Oxrun Station is a quiet, peaceful town. Its children are ordinary, innocent kids. Their favorite place is the toy shop run by Dale Bartlett. But Bartlett's orderly world is about to end. Nothing is as simple as it seems. Oxrun Station is a gathering place for evil. The children's games are an ancient ritual worshipping an old and angry god. Their temple is an abandoned orchard. No god can live without sacrifice. Will Dale Bartlett be the next adult to die?
