I'm going to say that this book is filled with sex, drugs and violence done very well. ( )

A very well written horror story of a young student who is befriended by a fellow student. The young man so much wants a best friend that he is forced to deal with a new friend that is pure evil. The story flows well and keeps the reader interested. The ending was unexpected, but good. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good horror story. I wil read other stories by this author. ( )

I received this book for free through a Library Thing giveaway.

This book only took me two days to read, which means I could not put it down.

We all have met someone destructive in our lives, and some of us are lucky enough to get away from them. Unfortunately, Norman wasn't lucky enough to get away from Zach.

This book is indeed gruesome with a lot of violence and sex. However, it is needed. You see the cold case files documentaries all the time, and this is a wonderful story of what happens before the cold case. The only part I didn't really like was all the cats that were killed. However, many serial killers kill animals before people.

Zach is an outcast, however he is egotistical and maniacal. Norman is an outcast too, but you couldn't help but love him. He was sweet to Lisa and tried to be the best son he could be.

This book was great in that it showed two point of views, Norman and then Zach from chapter to chapter. It really showed how naive Norman was at first when he met Zach. The newspaper articles in the book too are a key part to this novel.

I would recommend this book to everyone really, it is a warning to perhaps be more careful in who you find to be your friend. Also to be more aware of what is going on right before your eyes in the case of the other characters. ( )

A Song After Dark by Grant Palmquist

Norman was a straight A student, not popular and often picked on. When he met Zach a popular "party boy". He thought his life would change. It sure did but not the way Norman expected. He is about to find out the truth about Zach and if Norman doesn't act quick he is going to get pulled into Zach's twisted, sick world.

A fast paced psychological, thrilling story. Norman just wanted to fit in, he was real and desperate for friends. I did like Norman,in society today there are many "Norman's". I really liked the story line, quite original. Filled with nail-biting tension and surprises, I could not put it down. Well written, it felt as if I were part of the story, I like that in a book.

Those who like (Psychological)suspense/thrillers/murder will enjoy A Song After Dark. ( )

Another unique and impeccably written dark teen story about a regular boy who befriends a fellow student who is initally presumed to be a rebel type but later on turns out to be a real psycho. ... Book Review: A Song After Dark By Grant Palmquist » Katarina Nolte
