Black Mouth by Ronald Malfi

5.0

A brooding and haunting story from the mind that brought us ‘Come With Me’.

Ronald Malfi returns with another scary story ripped from the depths of hell! Proving once again that he is one of top authors in the genre! Black Mouth is a tale of personal torture, a terrible family past which impacts our characters entire lives.

The story mainly follows the character Jamie who has to deal with a troubled past and a present fight for sobriety whilst dealing with multiple bizarre scenarios that reunite him, his special needs brother and his friends. Ronald’s characterisation is exceptional and each of the friends has distinct personalities and their own back stories which promote their own growth.

The story is haunting and rich. There is so much to take in and so many disturbing events that set the mind racing. Each personal struggle of each character culminates in shared experiences and the whole novel is a journey through multiple eyes.

Black Mouth is another classic from Ronald Malfi and will keep the fear levels rising and the suspense simmering whilst you make your way through this haunting story.
