Excerpt from the Book:
In the summer of my eleventh year, a monster came to Black Mouth. It came in the night, slinking below the sightline of normal folks, destined to arrive at the threshold of my youth. Perhaps it sought me out the way a bloodhound tracks a scent. Or perhaps it was sheer happenstance, a flip of a coin, a flutter of distant butterfly wings. Events in our lives often have meaning because we choose to give them meaning. Whatever the case, it arrived in the way monsters sometimes do: as a creature in need.
My Thoughts:
After many years, Jamie returns to his childhood home. His mother
suddenly died, and he reunites with his disabled brother Dennis after a
long time. At the same time, his two childhood best friends, Clay and
Mia, are back in town. They are following the lead that is connected to
some events from their youth. Events they will never forget.
Black Mouth is my second novel by Ronald Malfi. Last year I read his Come With Me and enjoyed it as well. Although I’m not a regular horror reader, I like his writing, that builds up the creepy atmosphere.
