Description

In 1961, the small town of Haven thought they'd gotten rid of their monster. After a series of child killings, Paul Greymore was caught carrying a wounded girl. His face, disfigured from a childhood accident, seemed to confirm he was the monster the community hoped to banish. With Paul in prison, the killings stopped.

For 17 years, Haven was peaceful again. But Paul served his time and has now returned to Haven - the town where he grew up, and the scene of his alleged crimes. Paul insists he didn't commit those crimes, and several townspeople believe him including the local priest, a young boy named Denny, and his best friend Billy.

Trouble is, now that Paul is back home, the bizarre killings have started again - and the patterns match the deaths from Haven's past. If Paul isn't the killer, who is?

Or what is? An unlikely band of adventurers attempts to uncover the truth, delving into long-hidden tunnels that might actually be inhabited by a strange, predatory creature.

Haven is a compelling horror epic in the spirit of It or Summer of Night, and a stunning debut novel from a gifted author who knows that the darkest horrors lurk inside human beings, even when there is a monster on the loose.

good

Can a book about a child eating monster be heartwarming and sweet? Apparently it can.
Haven sort of falls in the "children in peril/coming of age while fighting literal evil" genre, but it's less horrific and more hopeful. I mean, it was plenty gruesome and violent, but it was ultimately an uplifting story. I really enjoyed it.
My only quibble, I guess, was the comically evil sherrif and son. Over the top, but also... I'm really having a hard time with crooked cop characters, lately. Despite how goofy he was, the stuff he did wasn't exactly unheard of. Kind of stressful.
But otherwise. A lovely monstrous adventure story with a happy ending, but still plenty of gore.
