A review by barefoot_james
The Children's Hour by Douglas Clegg

4.0

I like the books of Manly Wade Wellman and Stephen King better; however, this is a very good story.

Three teenagers have an encounter with an ancient evil. One of them is killed, another is crippled, and the third loses some of his sanity. Years later the third individual returns to the town with his family and discovers the evil is still there.

The story has lots of flashbacks and some flashbacks within flashbacks. It also has more exposition than I would like. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.
