Caponegro's
sole novel has, over the past decade and a half or so, simultaneously
languished in obscurity and gained a massive cult following in the
horror underground. Reading it after finally acquiring a copy, I can
see why the latter happened; I can only put the former down to
someone's idiocy at the publishing house. The Breeze Horror should
have been a blockbuster.
Sandy and her two-year-old boy are headed to the babysitter's one
morning when it begins to rain. Nothing odd about that, right? Except
this isn't normal rain; it's causing New York City to call for an
evacuation. Sandy flees to her parents' summer home on Breeze Island
to wait out the storm. After it passes, those who got sick from the
rain are quarantined on the beach, but they're not
getting sicker... they're getting better. And they're not happy.
