Summary

On the Lost Coast, some things should never be found....

When tragedy shatters 13-year-old Zelda Ruiz’s adolescence, she retreats with her uncle Mark to the bucolic town of Greywood Bay. It’s a chance to heal and build a new life together.

But nothing can prepare them for the malignant terror that has long coveted these lands.

It looms over redwood groves and lurks in the foundations of homes. It festers in the dark hearts of the wounded. And now, this cosmic horror has found a new weapon: a means to worm its way into our world.

To save their community—and each other—Zelda and Mark will need to confront their darkest demons, both inside and out. For what stalks Greywood Bay hungers for suffering above all else.

And soon, it will feast…By the Light of Dead Stars.

Cosmic Horror at its finest!

When tragedy strikes 13yr old Zelda’s life she moves with her uncle Mark to the town of Greywood Bay.
But evil covets these lands, it lurks in the new homes and hearts of the inhabitants and it now has a new way into our world. It craves suffering and Zelda and Mark must face their darkest thoughts to stand against it before it rises “By the Light of Dead Stars”.

This is cosmic horror at its finest, a small town, recently built on ancient lands, with new technology giving a way in for the old ones. You care what happens to the characters, they are very flawed and very human. The story starts with a bang and rarely lets up, there are brief chapters of scene setting and backstory but when it gets going it flies. There is a descent into depravity for some characters that is gloriously dark. The horror creeps insidiously through each house in this newly built town, weird occurrences in the homes are shrugged off as new house “teething problems” until it’s too late. Great read!

I listened to this on audio and the narrator was excellent.

Creepy as hell!

Such a great book! Really dark and creepy and the narration is absolutely superb and fits the book perfectly!
This isn’t the first book by AVW I’ve listened to (5 stars all round!) and it definitely won’t be the last especially if narrated by Tom Jordan; he has excellent pacing and character voices and creates an amazing atmosphere!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
