Faerie Tale, by Raymond E. Feist

A renowned fantasy writer, who brought us the incredible series The Riftwar Saga, Feist takes his shot at different kind of story. This a dark piece of fantasy, set in contemporary times, that mixes Irish folk myths and a bit of paranoid conspiracy theories (a la Illuminati) into the lives of a family that has just moved to New England. Excellent rhythm and a lot of action that will make you jump from one page to another until you know the outcome of this tense story: two boys get mixed up in a world of magic beyond their control and comprehension that was opened up by an initiated Magus who was trying to tap into a source of vast powers. This is a fast read that will appeal to both fantasy and horror readers (specially the fans of Stephen King's).
