Robert and Janet should have listened to the local legends. They should have heeded the warnings about the black water lagoons. And they should have listened to their daughter when she told them about the whispers in the woods. Because now, it's too late. Krissy's disappeared, and whatever took their little girl is coming back for more….
In the 1800s a group of Seminole warriors thought they put an end to Mansa Du Paul, a child-murdering voodoo practitioner who had been stealing their children for his evil rituals.
Unfortunately, they only destroyed his body, not knowing his spirit lies in wait for the chance to return. That chance comes when the Patterson family arrives for what they expect to be a relaxing vacation.
This is my first full-length read by this author, but having previously read a few of his short stories in anthologies that I enjoyed, I have been meaning to pick up his novels ever since. I'm so glad I finally did.
Evil Whispers is old-school classic horror. An evil entity has possessed a child. Only one man suspects the truth of what has taken control of poor little Krissy Patterson but it's hard to be a hero and a suspect at the same time. He has protected others from this evil once before, but can he do it again?
I loved these characters and the mix of modern-day horror with Native American folklore. It was fast paced and suspenseful with just the right amount of murder and mayhem. The vivid descriptions had all my senses engaged.
4 out of 5 stars
