This is a wonderful litte book and I swear Arthur Slade was channeling Ray Bradbury while he wrote it. It is free on Audible right now: https://mobile.audible.com/membergiving-lp.htm?senderCustomerId=AOS4P6L6FJPHI&ac...

Mehso-so

This turned out pretty "meh" for me. Probably at least partly because I didn't love the narrator. It wasn't awful, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it.

I got this free through Audible. About halfway though and while the narrative isn't great, the story is holding my interest. Where are those missing kids?

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled That cover is enough to get me interested! 8y
BookishMarginalia @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com the cover is freaking me out a little! 8y
Lindy I read this so long ago that I can't remember where those kids went (can't spoiler even if I wanted to, which I don't) but I do remember that it's a Pied Piper retelling. Always interested in old tales retold. 8y
Soubhiville Cool @Lindy , I hadn't realized that yet. 8y

#TBT photo - this one not too old, published 2001, and the cover isn't as awful as others I've posted for TBT, but the book inside is freaking sensational! Prime example of never judge a book by its cover. This book is so good, I swear Arthur Slade was channeling Ray Bradbury and Ray Bradbury wasn't even deceased yet! Read this book!

sandra888 we have this same edition! totally agree; i've never liked that cover. but the story! Art is amazing at creepy tension, the kind that relies on that vague sense of unease skulking at one's periphery, making one constantly wonder what's wrong while battling a feeling of impending doom. scares so good! 🙀😈 8y
