About this listen

Perfect for fans of Stephen King's IT, a group of friends return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they first stumbled on as teenagers in this mesmerizing odyssey of terror.

An atmospheric, haunting thriller, full of memorable characters and sublime terror, from the author of Come with Me

For nearly two decades, Jamie Warren has been running from darkness. He's haunted by a traumatic childhood and the guilt at having disappeared from his disabled brother's life. But then a series of unusual events reunites him with his estranged brother and their childhood friends, and none of them can deny the sense of fate that has seemingly drawn them back together.

Nor can they deny the memories of that summer, so long ago—the strange magic taught to them by an even stranger man, and the terrible act that has followed them all into adulthood. In the light of new danger, they must confront their past by facing their futures, and hunting down a man who may very well be a monster.

a writer who can actually write! Somewhat of an homage to Stephen King's 'It', that doesn't fully do it justice as it's own, very well-written horror novel. A talented author who I'd definitely read again. excellent narration really brought the different characters to life.

Great narrative and really well developed characters - enjoyable and I’m keen to read more Malfi but thought there could have been a bit more “horror” in the first half of the book. Definitely worth picking up though
