À propos de cet audio
Will Burgess is used to hard knocks. Abandoned by his father, son of a drug-addicted mother, and charged with raising his six-year-old sister, Will has far more to worry about than most high school freshmen. To make matters worse, Mia Samuels, the girl of Will’s dreams, is dating his worst enemy, the most sadistic upperclassman at Shadeland High. Will’s troubles, however, are just beginning. Because one of the nation’s most notorious criminals - the Moonlight Killer - has escaped from prison and is headed straight toward Will’s hometown. And something else is lurking in Savage Hollow, the forest surrounding Will’s rundown house. Something ancient and infinitely evil. When the worst storm of the decade descends on Shadeland, Will and his friends must confront unfathomable horrors. Everyone Will loves - his mother, his little sister, Mia, and his friends - will be threatened. And very few of them will escape with their lives.

A visceral coming-of-age novel.
Jonathan Janz has single handedly become one of my favorite horror authors because this visceral coming-of-age novel and the accompanying book Savage Species. These are must reads for any horror fan.

Did we read the same book?
Based on the glowing reviews of this and the author's other books (here and elsewhere), I figured this would be a sure thing. I was wrong. Children of the Dark was a solid "not that bad." The writing was ok, the story was closing in on ok, some of the characters were written decently, the ending wasn't the worst... But it wasn't good by any stretch. The plot hinged on people acting comically stupid. I hate that. The local cops were so cartoonishly incompetent and lite-evil that it actually became hard to listen to. I'm no police apologist, but these guys... they were not bad in the way some real cops are bad. No, this was the author phoning it in. It was lazy writing in order to try to hold a (silly) plot together.
On the other hand, the 15 year old protagonist was impossibly smart and kind and virtuous and responsible and brave and forgiving and zen. It was written from his perspective and the language was completely unbelievable coming from the mouth of a kid that young, even a gifted one.
Also, I'm not thrilled with the author's take on the Wendigo. And all of the emphasis on their gigantic genitalia. Heh, I guess that bit WAS consistent with the perspective of a 15 year old boy...
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I realize I didn't actually like it.
The narrator, though? He did a great job.
