A review by ninjabunneh
Bay's End by Edward Lorn
4.0
Damn, and here I thought the sleepy little town of Derry had issues.
There are some books that you read with a sense of dread. From the moment you crack open the very first page you just know some super bad fucked up shit is gonna go down. Very few authors are able to pull that off. Especially with me as their reader because not much makes me squirm.
Bay's End will make anyone squirm.
This story is dark, disturbing, shocking, and all too human. When the fear in a book is a monster or something supernatural, it's easy to remember nothing is real. However, when the true monsters are human, what can you tell yourself then? And when you're a child who is supposed to be protected by grown ups there really seems to be no place safe.
Perhaps a little boy from another little town described it best:
"And almost idly, in a kind of side-thought, Eddie discovered one of his childhood’s great truths. Grownups are the real monsters, he thought."
(~~~Stephen King's IT~~~)
You can read this one with the lights on, but that won't help much. This one can get to you even in the daylight.
