About this listen

True Detective meets H.P. Lovecraft in this chilling novel of murder, mystery, and slow-mounting dread from acclaimed author Mary SanGiovanni....

It begins with a freak snowstorm in May. Hit hardest is the rural town of Colby, Connecticut. Schools and businesses are closed, powerlines are down, and police detective Jack Glazier has found a body in the snow. It appears to be the victim of a bizarre ritual murder. It won't be the last.

As the snow piles up, so do the sacrifices. Cut off from the rest of the world, Glazier teams up with an occult crime specialist to uncover a secret society hiding in their midst.

The gods they worship are unthinkable. The powers they summon are unstoppable. And the things they will do to the good people of Colby are utterly, horribly unspeakable....

This is the type of horror that was popular in the 70's. (Bradbury. Lovecraft) I think it would be improved by rounding-out the characters and building more story to link them better but it was an enjoyable suspension of belief.

Very Lovecraftian story

This book was a punish to get through. Firstly, it felt as though we were being dropped into an existing story, with no explanation...then in other parts it over-explained. The lame romantic sub-plot made me groan, and I hated the overall poorly researched, ridiculous plotline, with its occasional unwelcome religious overtones and gun worship.

The narration was okay but not great, and was ruined by a terrible attempt at an Irish accent for one character.

My friend and I chose this book for our mini book club, and we both hated it. We found the title on a list of horror novels...but alas, this is not good horror. Definitely do not recommend.

Very dry, and not scary
