For the past ten years, since he and his widowed mother moved to Theibes House, the family's Victorian mansion on the luscious Washington coast, a ghost he calls the gray lady has haunted him. But it's his nightmares of a soul-sucking obelisk that have caused him the most trouble. So when a renowned archaeologist begs him to come to the rainforest, deep in the African Congo where the tip of a giant, black obelisk is "growing up" out of the jungle floor, Charlie is intrigue. Especially since his nightmares are about a phenomenon such as this occurring in this exact same place. But what are the glyphs that swarm like insects around the dark column and why does the obelisk feel "alive" to the touch? A dark secret, traced back to antiquity, may have the answers to stop the terrors that haunt Charlie awake and asleep It may also hold the key to keeping an unimaginable horror from ripping apart the very fabric of the world.
