Summer of Night by Dan Simmons

4.0

My love/obsession with Dan Simmons started with Drood which was published atleast a decade after Summer of Night and other horror novels by him which I plan to read. This novel was the first of his earlier works that I have read. Its definatly a Dan Simmons book, but an easier read despite 550 pages. His science fiction books are dense and mentally exhausting reads! I loved them, but to read more then 10 pages at a time was tiring! This was still written in his wonderful prose and style but with a much easier to read rhythm! Perhaps I am seeing a tiny bit of a transition that Dan Simmons went through in his novels and how his prose changed over the years.
