Eyes of Sleeping Children by D.A. Butcher
4.0
"The innocence behind the eyes of sleepin’ children is how we break the cycle. That’s where we find understandin’ and true love and faith and all the things that make the world a better place. All the greed and pride in the world are jus’ bad habits we adopt to fit in. To survive."
I absolutely adore the little children: Dorothy, Jesse, sweet Annie!
My heart burned with grief for these sweet little angels. The horrors they suffer by the choices made by their parents and other adults is detestable.
The hardship of trying to survive the desolation set upon the land was too much for Louis to endure. Dust storms, unrelenting heat, tornadoes, and a shortage of food supply. Something has taken his children, which causes his mind to snap. He begins to perform unthinkable acts upon his family and neighbors without remorse.
Bonnie has created a deep shell around herself. She doesn't want to face her fears or the traumatic events that occurred in her past. She wraps herself into a world of unreality.
There is so much darkness and depravity. Anger, fear, sadness, and hidden secrets. Secrets that have been locked into the deepest corners of the mind. The obscurity of the Sandman was truly haunting, a creation only our imagination can cause us to believe. Because we would rather believe in fairytale monsters, not human monsters that are causing unspeakable pain.
The story is built slowly with persistent dread. Disquieting plot twists and unsuspecting turn of events. There is very little happiness in the end. Just a kindling of hope to a possible better life for the littles.
With the great imagery written throughout, one can actually feel as if they have stepped back in time and entered a world of desolation. Dry, dusty, dogged heat, the rumbling tornadoes, and the surrounding bleakness.
The horror is profound!
An enjoyable, yet unsettling novel of dreadful gloom!
