About this listen

Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel

From a master of horror comes an apocalyptic showdown between the residents of a secluded, rural town and the deadly evil that confronts them wherever they turn.

Evil doesn’t die.

The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country’s largest Halloween celebration in what is now called “The Spookiest Town in America.”

It just grows stronger.

But then—a month before Halloween—it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. An ancient evil walks the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces—and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic.

What the critics say

“Maberry supplies plenty of chills, both earthbound and otherworldly, in this atmospheric horror novel…This is horror on a grand scale, reminiscent of Stephen King’s heftier works.” ( Publishers Weekly)

At first I was bummed at the end til I realized it was a TRILOGY!!!! And now I’m back on board. Honestly great story that navigates some deeply complicated characters! The overall feeling of this greater entity pulling strings really give you an almost perverse relationship with your villains and leaves you almost rooting for everyone!

Love some twists and turns!

the author writes in a descriptive way that isn't tedious and he writes the character so you actually start to care for them fear for them and worry for them the way he portrays the change with Iron Mike Sweeney makes you want to either hold his hand or start cheering the author is like this with all his books I highly recommend

the way he writes the characters you actually fear for their safety and care for them

If you go in understanding that it sets the stage for future books, then you are all ser. I think that the setup on characters are a bit repetitive. Could have taken half the book allowing the second book to carry on. This book can sit on its own and is not a cliff hanger.

good, bit slow

Honestly I was so bored with this book I didn't finish it. I was hoping it was going to be as good as the reviews. It was not scary the supernatural parts in it didn't give me a fright and it dragged on. I won't be listening to other books either of this series. I hate that I wanted a credit on this. other people may live it. It's just not for me.

Not what I expected
