Malevolent creatures have hidden themselves for many years in Sinnissippi Park, in Hopewell, Illinois. A man named John Ross is drawn to the town, plagued by nightmares warning him that an unspeakable evil is about to be unleashed on the world. A teenager, Nest Freemark, has powers that she does not fully understand, and uses them in the battle between good and evil.[1]
Dates given in Terry Brooks' subsequent novel Armageddon's Children confirm that Running with the Demon takes place in 1997. However, like the other books in the Word/Void trilogy, the days of the week mentioned in the novel do not fall on the given calendar dates.[citation needed]
Another discrepancy is associated with the character Derry Howe, described as a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving two tours of duty. A news article gives his age as 38 years old. The story takes place in 1997, indicating that Derry would have been 16 years old at the time the Vietnam War ended in 1975. However, it also says he is "on the downside of forty."[citation needed]
A third error is given when Nest is said to be training for the Summer Olympics to be held in Melbourne, Australia. The next upcoming Summer Olympics in 2000 were in Sydney, Australia, not Melbourne.
