THE BLACK PUMPKIN By Dean R. Koontz 1 THE PUMPKINS WERE CREEPY, BUT THE<\/p>\n

MAN WHO CARVED THEM WAS far stranger than his creations. He appeared to have<\/p>\n

baked for ages in the California sun, until all the juices had been cooked out<\/p>\n

squash, not pleasingly round like a pumpkin, yet not shaped like an ordinary<\/p>\n

head, either: slightly narrower at the top and wider at the chin than was<\/p>\n

natural. His amber eyes glowed with a sullen, smoky, weak – but dangerous –<\/p>\n

tendency to be alarmed by the mildest signs of anger in others, to panic at<\/p>\n

the first vague perception of a threat. Some families taught their<\/p>\n

twelve-year-old boys honesty, integrity, decency, and faith in God. By their<\/p>\n

actions, however, Tommy’s parents and his brother, Frank, had taught him to be<\/p>\n

cautious, suspicious, and even paranoid. In the best of times, his mother and<\/p>\n

father treated him as an outsider; in the worst of times, they enjoyed<\/p>\n
