Eyes of Sleeping Children by D.A. Butcher

5.0

Can I once again rant about how fantastic indie authors are? I’ll read them all day long versus something a new and popular artist pumps out (except for King and Koontz.) But enough about how much I love indie authors...this story really sucks you in. It starts in the midst of a huge Dust Bowl storm called The Beast. Lou wakes up to discover his son is missing, his wife (who has essentially lost her marbles...or has she?) blames The Sandman, and this sends Lou on a hunt to find who took his son. It’s an intense ride that ends with absolutely no loose ends. Butcher really knows how to write!

This quote hit me hard and I need to share it: “You’d be lucky to find a friendly face, nowadays. Nobody even knows what to say to each other anymore, too concerned about covering up their faces, so the town’s fallen silent like a movie without the entertainment.” Everyone covered their faces to prevent themselves from inhaling the dust. Is this 2021 or 1930’s?
