Array'd in Flames is another excellent historical horror novel from Ken C. Davis.  Set in the mill town of Lawrence, Massachusetts during the Civil War, it tells of Finn Carey, a tough young Irish immigrant who has pulled himself up by his bootstraps to relative prosperity.  His life is going so well that he arranges to have some of his family come over to the U.S. to join him.  Unfortunately, an evil entity has hitched a ride on the same ship as his family members, and the actions of one of them on board the ship has caused the evil to pursue Finn and his family, while ravaging the city and its immigrant community.This is the second novel by Davis that I have read, the first being the terrific Where The Dead Talk, and I continue to be thoroughly impressed.  He is able to convey the details of the historical period with astonishing accuracy, while still weaving a tale of terror that makes your toes curl and causes you to think twice about turning off the light before turning in.  I am very much looking forward to reading more from Ken C. Davis in the future.
