About this ebook

Like all small towns, Oneka Falls, New York has its share of secrets--some innocent and harmless, some evil and terrible, and many in between.

 

Only three children have encountered the worst the town has to offer and lived, and each of them paid a terrible price. Psyches fractured, each child survived to adulthood as best they could—wrapped in fantasy, the comfort of amnesia, or the silence of isolation. When the town's evil intrudes on their lives a second time, it draws them home, setting in motion a chain of events that can only end in destruction.

 

But who will be destroyed, the survivors or the monsters that plague the town?

Ratings and reviews

I read Demon King and it was awesome. I love horror thrillers and this did not disappoint. That's a great nasty bad guy in there! Creep! The writing is great. I could picture everything he wrote in my head and just kept wanting to keep reading. Another great book by a great author! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved this book, the story and characters are complex, this reminds me of 80's family movies like the Goonies or Gremlins, but with a sinister evil that lurks in the background slowly and malevolently working it's way into their minds and memories. The story never halts, the story telling also impresses me with a backstory building alongside the current tense, each childhood memory lending insight into the psyche of the characters are they are in this current timeline. I would highly recommend this book.

This was another great book by Erik Henry Vick. Very well written and kept me interested throughout. I highly recommend reading Erik Henry Vick’s books. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
