I own this book.
Summary:
One hundred years ago in Port Arbello a young girl is
murdered. Today, the children of Port
Arbello are disappearing. It seems an
evil history has come back to haunt the town.
The one child who may know what is going on has been scared speechless.
My Thoughts:
I came across this book at a used book store while I was in
high school. The name John Saul was new
to me, but the story on the back of the book intrigued me. So I gave the clerk $2.00 and walked out the
store with a new book and a new favorite author.
I still own this book and will never part with it. I hope to one day meet John Saul and ask him
to sign it. It’s my favorite horror book
and the most cherish book in my book collection (right along with my Little
House and Anne of Green Gables books, of course).
I gave this book 5 stars and a grade of an A because I have
read this book three times since I bought it and I never grow tired of it. The
first time I read it I was up all night reading it; I couldn’t put it
down. The ending took me by complete surprise.
I would have never have guessed who or what was causing the terror that had a
hold of Port Arbello. If you love horror
books I would recommend all of John Saul’s books, but especially Suffer the
Children.
