Blood Night

How it reads

Blood Night is horror (supernatural horror, specifically), and its dominant mood is dark. It goes to difficult places and doesn't look away. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in a small town setting, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are survival, secrets and faith. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending is dark — no rescue, no neat bow. At 325 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
