Resumen del Editor

Maybe this is a ghost story . . .

Andrew Larimer has left his past behind. Rising up the ranks in a New York law firm, and with a heavily pregnant wife, he is settling into a new life far from Kingsport, the town in which he grew up. But when he receives a late-night phone call from an old friend, he has no choice but to return home.

Coming home means returning to his late father's house, which has seen better days. It means lying to his wife. But it also means reuniting with his friends: Eric, now the town's sheriff; Dale, a real-estate mogul living in the shadow of a failed career; his childhood sweetheart Tig who never could escape town; and poor Meach, whose ravings about a curse upon the group have driven him to drugs and alcohol.

Together, the five friends will have to confront the memories—and the horror—of a night, years ago, that changed everything for them.

Because Andrew and his friends have a secret. A thing they have kept to themselves for twenty years. Something no one else should know. But the past is not dead, and Kingsport is a town with secrets of its own.

One dark secret . . .

One small-town horror . . .

Good writing, decent story.

The story was well written and had some decent twists. A bit cliche with some of the scares (birds smashing into houses, the quintessential outcast woman everyone sees as a witch, scary kid) but those weren't enough to ruin the story. Some of the plot lines didn't really go anywhere, but again, those weren't enough to make this a bad story.

great story. it never got boring.

normally I can stop a book anywhere. and leave it for a day or 2. but this one made me even at home. a few jaw droppers in there as well.

Slow Build up, Amazing story

Small Town Horror starts off with a slow build up, and then the tension builds and builds, the town gets more eerie and the characters' stress ramps up... all accumulating to a giant build up. At first I didn't think this would be a 5 star read for me, but as the story went on, the suspense builds- more and more and MORE. It's actually a fantastic novel, Malfi is a very talented writer. This is what you would call a smart horror story. Narrator does a fabulous job. There is even a little Easter Egg of a mention to one of Malfi's other books: Black Mouth. TEE HEE. So much fun, was this book. 5 stars.

LOVED it!!

Really good story with an ending I could live with. Joe Hempel does a great job narrating. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Interesting

Kept me engaged the whole time,liked the ending however I need a couple of days to process the rating I gave because honestly don’t know if I like the night parade more! 😬😬😬😬😬😬 I recommend them both!

best full Horror novel ive listened to in forever.

I have a lot of horror novels and this is the best one I've listened to in awhile. I like this authors rhythm and it was lovely to have the main character not be a writer.

Just okay

Just wasn't as good as his books usually are. Didn't feel drawn into the characters and story like usual.

It was OK

I was a bit disappointed in this book. Ronald Malfi didn't seem to live upto the stanadrds of his previos works
Just my opinion.

Great story

I was leary of trying a book that did not have any reviews and I knew nothing about the author. This is a great story that kept me hooked the whole time.

The narrator did a great job and I really enjoyed listening to his voice. he also did a great job putting inflection in the character's voices. This is an author I will look for again and if it is the same narrator, that would be awesome.

Another great story

I’ve read and listened to many books by this author. A couple of twists and good characters.
