Set in Elm Haven, Illinois, in 1960, ''Summer of Night'' recounts its five pre-teen protagonists’ discovery that eerie, terrifying events are unfolding in the Old Central School. Operatives, including a dead soldier; giant worms with rows of sharp, serrated teeth; the animated corpse of a deceased teacher; schoolyard bullies; the driver of a rendering truck; their school teacher, and the principal of the school, serve a centuries-old evil that seeks to be reborn in their time—and in their town. It is only by banding together that the pre-teens can hope to defeat the monstrosity before it destroys them, their friends, their families—and, possibly, the world. The sequel to ''Summer of Night'' is called ''A Winter Haunting,'' in which Dale Stewart, now grown, returns to Elm Haven. Another sequel is ''Children of the Night,'' which features Mike O'Rourke, now a Roman Catholic priest, who is sent on a mission to investigate bizarre events in a European city. Another ''Summer of Night'' character, Dale's younger brother, Lawrence Stewart, appears as a minor character in Simmons' thriller ''Darwin's Blade'' while the adult Cordie Cooke appears in ''Fires of Eden.''
