SOME STORIES CAN ONLY BE TOLD . . . LONG PAST MIDNIGHT
Five-time Bram Stoker Award-winner Jonathan Maberry weaves a chilling web of small-town terrors, local legends, and hair-raising tales set in the eerie world of Pine Deep, Pennsylvania. . . .
Four children explore an abandoned house that’s supposed to be haunted—and discover something far more terrifying than any ghost. A rash of fatal accidents in the town of Pine Deep keeps a cemetery worker busier than ever—because the dead won’t stay buried. Ex-cop Joe Ledger searches for a missing witness in “the spookiest town in America”—but finds there is no protection program against the forces of evil. . . .
There is a character in this book who equates a trip back to Pine Deep as being as pleasant as a case of genital warts. So although I laughed, I feel the opposite. I loved the Pine Deep trilogy and I will travel back there as many times as Jonathan Maberry is willing to take us.
These stories all stand-alone and you do not need to have read Ghost Road Blues or the rest of the trilogy to enjoy them, however, you are truly missing out on something special if you have skipped them.
The tales take place before, during, and after the trilogy. There is a brief description of what some of the characters had experienced in the trilogy so that you are not totally out of the loop when reading this book but I still feel it is best that you not skip them. I loved this book to pieces.
Pine Deep is and has been home to ghosts, werewolves, and vampires. It's the spookiest town in America and it was a joy for me to revisit it.
4 out of 5 stars
