pickI don‘t know how I‘ve gone this long without reading a book by Malfi. This story had a perfect amount of creep to it. Even though the storyline is over used with friends reuniting years later after a tragic incident, Malfi weaves other elements into the story that transcends reality but is not over done. Did I love the ending? I‘m still on the fence about that but I can‘t see it ending any other way. I would love to see this as a movie!!
Malfi is a must-read for me. Small Town Horror went from creeping dread to sheer terror at the end. His prose is almost cinematic. 4.5 stars
pickThe 1st I‘ve read of this local author & I liked it! Definitely heavy on the horror descriptions at times but still a compelling read. It‘s for my mystery/thriller book club. Reminiscent of other stories where someone is summoned back to their hometown. There‘s past & present storylines & loved all the descriptions of Maryland. I‘m unsure if I‘d read more by this author just because of all the horror even though yes I realize that‘s the genre 😜
