WINNER OF THE 2016 BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN A FIRST NOVEL In 1961, the small town of Haven thought they\'d gotten rid of their monster.
Hand out freely to anyone looking for a solid scare." -- Booklist (starred review) "Debut novelist Deady closely examines his setting, showing how the difficult.
There is a modern perspective behind this tale, similar to Maberry\'s Pine Deep trilogy or Janz\' Children of the Dark (2016).
While the novel is obviously for fans of Stranger Things and the classic small-town horror by those like King or Straub, don\'t let its setting keep you looking in the past.
Praise for Haven "PW With compelling characters (both good and evil), a shifting narration that keeps the story moving, a building sense of dread, and breathless action sequences, this is a well-crafted example of what is best about horror today.
Haven is a compelling horror epic in the spirit of It or Summer of Night, and a stunning debut novel from a gifted author who knows that the darkest horrors lurk inside human beings, even when there is a monster on the loose.
If Paul isn\'t the killer, who is? Or WHAT is? An unlikely band of adventurers attempts to uncover the truth, delving into long-hidden tunnels that might actually be inhabited by a strange, predatory creature.
Trouble is, now that Paul is back home, the bizarre killings have started again--and the patterns match the deaths from Haven\'s past.
Paul insists he didn\'t commit those crimes, and several townspeople believe him including the local priest, a young boy named Denny, and his best friend Billy.
But Paul served his time and has now returned to Haven--the town where he grew up, and the scene of his alleged crimes.
For seventeen years, Haven was peaceful again.
With Paul in prison, the killings stopped.
His face, disfigured from a childhood accident, seemed to confirm he was the monster the community hoped to banish.
After a series of child killings, Paul Greymore was caught carrying a wounded girl.
