Summer that Melted Everything (The) = Eté où tout a fondu (L')
Edité par Scribe. Melbourbe , 2017
Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil. Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered thirteen-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, assuming he's a runaway from a nearby farm town. When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him and tensions rise, along with the temperature as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him. As strange accidents start to occur, riled by the feverish heat, some in the town start to believe that Sal is exactly who he claims to be. While the Bliss family wrestle with their own personal demons, a fanatic drives the town to the brink of a catastrophe that will change this sleepy Ohio backwater forever.
Eté 1984 à Breathed, Ohio. Hanté par la lutte entre le bien et le mal, le procureur Autopsy Bliss publie une annonce dans le journal local : il invite le diable à venir lui rendre visite. Le lendemain, son fils Fielding découvre un jeune garçon à la peau noire et aux yeux d’un vert intense, planté devant le tribunal, qui se présente comme le diable en personne. Cet enfant à l’âme meurtrie, heureux d’être enfin le bienvenu quelque part, serait-il vraiment l’incarnation du mal ? Dubitatifs, les adultes le croient en fugue d’une des fermes voisines, et le shérif lance son enquête. Se produisent alors des événements étranges qui affectent tous les habitants de Breathed, tandis qu’une vague de chaleur infernale frappe la petite ville.
