August's Eyes by Glenn Rolfe
5.0
Gather all your twisted friends, this is a great book club read- which is hard when reading the ARC for review because I wanted to discuss this so bad. I wanted to praise the characters, and curse out the characters, and speculate about what was going on and what was going to happen.
August Eyes is full of small town horror. Welcome to Spears Corner Maine, a town with a dark history and more graveyards than a town this size has any right to have.
Johnny’s friend Ethan was kidnapped and murdered when they were kids. It was so traumatic that Johnny blocked it from his memory. Now as an adult, he is suffering from recurring nightmares that may be tied to his past, however, his nightmares don’t only occur when he sleeps.
I am not typically a fan of dream sequences to advance a plot but it works in this book because of the tension, the creepy characters, and those damn spiders.
