Publisher's summary

It was always there.

Thirty years ago, Carter Springer left behind Devondale, a sleepy neighborhood in Lexington, Kentucky, for a big-city life in Atlanta. But he didn’t just leave behind his family - he also left behind his friends, a group the adults of the neighborhood once referred to as the Devondale Five. They were legends back then. They ran the neighborhood. They were inseparable. Until Carter abandoned them.

It never left.

He’s long set aside the memories he and his friends made on those winding streets. But when Richie, another member of the Five, dies under mysterious circumstances, Carter knows he must return to Devondale and pay his respects.

It’s been waiting.

Richie’s death raises more than just questions for the old gang. It also raises a lot of ghosts, turning the sleepy neighborhood from Carter’s memories into a nightmare. One he might never escape from. And now that he’s back...it’s hungry.

Fans of Stephen King and Douglas Clegg will be on the edges of their seats for every moment of Mark Spears’ thrilling debut horror novel, Devondale.

Devondale is Excellent!

Mark Spears' Devondale is tantamount to an amazing recipe you can't help but get your hands on.

Take one-part hometown thriller, mix with a dash of Stranger Things, then sprinkle in a healthy helping of Stephen King's 'It'. Add a few twists and surprises to taste. Finally, Let it simmer in your mind's eye as you listen and enjoy.

This is a delectable tale of one man's homecoming gone completely awry as he returns home to grieve the loss of a childhood friend.

The adventure that awaits him as he finds answers to what happened to his recently departed friend, his old neighborhood and childhood friends will keep you in a bingeful suspense. Devondale will take you on a ride you won't soon forget.

Devondale is definitely worth the credit spent. I can't wait to see what Marks Spears comes up with next!
