A Sound In The Dark by Kyle Alexander RominesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
An exceptionally terrifying novel which re-illustrates for me the perfect reason I don't camp: not Bear, not Mountain Lion, not Wolf, not Rabid Possum. The fear is of Human Evil, so excruciatingly defined in A SOUND IN THE DARK.
But that's not all: in addition to the rampages of human evil, this wonderful author gives up plenty of both character evolution and devolution, finely delineated to the degree that I as reader was totally emotionally involved in the story.
One more point: I resonated with that which I perceive as Lovecraftian influences. Without detail to spoil the plot, there exist distinct otherworldly resonances....or is it mania or schizophrenia after all? This reader thinks not.
