The Stevenson Theory The Stevenson Theory - Part 1 - Venom Effect, Book 1, (Paperback)

Childhood innocence is ripped away from a group of adolescents on Halloween night in 1989 when an unthinkable tragedy forces them to face uncertain futures and rocks the very foundation of a once peaceful community.

Tormented by his father, bullied by classmates, and longing for a mother who left him too soon, eleven-year-old Jeremiah has grown accustomed to living in fear and isolation. All of that changes when through a chance encounter he forms an unlikely friendship with Keith, an aspiring athlete and the most popular boy in school. But when social pressures rise, causing Keith to pull away from Jeremiah, the threat of abandonment opens up a dark path and results in horrific consequences.

Forever connected by the events of that night, five children attempt to move on with their lives, unaware that history is doomed to repeat itself and that the past might be coming back to haunt them.
