Silent, Dark, and Deep by Rod Labbe, Rod Labbe
Did not finish book.
Thank you to Wicked House Publishing for this ARC in return for my honest review.
This book was marketed as horror, but it's more of a coming of age/paranormal ghost story type of book. I really did enjoy the author's writing style, however, coming of age stories aren't really my favorite thing. I've abandoned the book about halfway through because there is little to no horror involved, and the book is just too slow for me.
The story is written so that an elderly man is telling a story about his youth - but most of the chapters are children from his stories interacting. It seems that there are a lot of misspellings/grammar issues, but that is just the author trying to write the story in slang. I didn't find it hard to read, but I could see how it would bother some.
I am open to reading more from this author in the future as I found his writing style very intriguing and nostalgic.
