Publisher's Summary
The Waking Dark is “a horror story worthy of Stephen King” (Booklist) and “a book you won’t soon forget” (Cassandra Clare, author of the Mortal Instruments series - perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Rick Yancey.
They called it the killing day. Twelve people murdered, in the space of a few hours, their killers also all dead by their own hand...except one. And that one has no answers to offer the shattered town.
Something is waking in the sleepy town of Oleander, Kansas - something dark and hungry that lives in the flat earth and the open sky, in the vengeful hearts of its upstanding citizens. As the town begins a descent into blood and madness, five survivors of the killing day are the only ones who can stop Oleander from destroying itself.
They have nothing in common. They have nothing left to lose. And they have no way out. Which means they have no choice but to stand and fight, to face the darkness in their town - and in themselves.
What the critics say
“Suspense, chills, gasps - all that and a gem-like writing style that will make you shiver with beauty and horror. A book you won’t soon forget.”(Cassandra Clare, author of the best-selling Mortal Instruments series and Infernal Devices trilogy)
“Twisted, pulse-pounding, shocking, and very, very scary. With The Waking Dark, Robin Wasserman conjures vintage Stephen King as she peers into the dark heart of a nightmare America, where violence and evil lurk behind the golden glow of small-town life, and new terrors arrive by the hour. A superb horror story that is by turns visceral and lyrical, heartrending and heart-stopping.” (Libba Bray, best-selling author of the Gemma Doyle trilogy and the Diviners series)
“A thriller dark and beautiful and - yes - achingly romantic at every unexpected twist and turn. Astounding.” (Lauren Myracle, New York Times best-selling author of The Infinite Moment of Us and Bliss)
