About this listen

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 . . .

I don’t usually enjoy stories told from 1st person or those that switch between mainly 1st and the occasional 3rd person, but this works and makes sense if you give it time / patience / acceptance that it will make sense.
I hadn’t heard of this writer previously but was just looking for a good horror book as that’s what I’m into just now. I’ve really been struggling to find a good bunch of horror stories and am excited to try out the rest of his books

Just an all round good book

I enjoyed this novel. An interesting storyline in the style of Dean Koontz with plenty of twists and turns. I shall look for others by this author and hope I enjoy them as much.

Compelling and different

Tense, dark, moody twists and turns that hook you in and keep you listening. Great stuff.

Another cracker from Malfi!

Small Town Horror is a great horror novel, full of creepy description, mystery and secrets. This book will give you chills and keep you on the edge of your seat, thanks to the great writing of Ronald Malfi, and the expert narration from Joe Hempel. Highly recommend.

Fantastic!

I generally thought the book was a good listen . There were some scary moments and the sense of evil lurking just out of sight prevailed .
I liked the story but the ending I think could have been so much better with all that had gone before. wasn't the crescendo I had hoped for .
I wasn't rooting for the main characters as they hadn't done the right thing in the past or present except perhaps Tig and Bonny .
Worth a listen and a good narrator.

Atmospheric creepy novel .
