![]() ![]() The sky is completely shrouded and the ways out of town are blocked by walls of living darkness. Basically, the town is enclosed by a cover of darkness. ![]() It’s a cross between Under the Dome by Stephen King (also a terrible book, in my opinion) and The Mist, also by Stephen King (a much better short story). The genre of the story is a horror-fantasy sort of mix. Now, this was my biggest problem with the book. She’s an over-emotional, drug dependent, drama queen. He details his neighbors, all nice enough people. It’s your standard small town with the standard residents. He starts to talk about his town, pre-darkness. After that he gets a bit closer to the point. ![]() Our narrator is Robbie Higgins and he spends a few pages rambling senselessly before informing the reader that he is fortifying himself with whiskey in order to write. I read this terrible book so that you never have to read it. It became sort of a point of pride for me. I wanted to stop reading this book rather early on (23% in, according to my Kindle) but I forced myself to read the whole thing for the sole purpose of writing a bad review of it. To really hammer this point home, I will admit something of which I am ashamed. Everything you could think of to be wrong with a book was wrong with this book. I won’t beat around the bush: I hated this book. ![]()
