While fleeing from neighborhood bullies, a lonely girl uncovers a dark secret buried near the abandoned ruins of a house mired in local legend. Ruth hopes the charred remains that she unearths will bring a bit of magic to her life, but she's no match for the force that dwells in this place, waiting for a chance to live again. A displaced child neglected by affluent parents and a former preacher burdened by the tragic and scandalous circumstances of his mother's death face a final reckoning at the hands of a woman with the power to summon good and evil. In the Light is the final book of the Skillute Cycle, a chronicle of one fictional town and an abiding horror that lies just beneath the surface. In the woods. In the water. Beneath the ground. The time has arrived. Something evil has come home. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This novella elaborates on the story begun in the novel Knock Knock. A tale about small town life, its secrets, its rituals, and its inhabitants. It's good stuff.
I like the fact that women play a strong role here too -it put me in mind of Thomas Tryon's Harvest Home-a book I have no qualms recommending, in addition to this one. However, for best results read Knock Knock before In the Light-to properly complete the Cycle.
I've read a few books from Omnium Gatherum now, and have been impressed with each of them. This one was no exception. The same holds true for S. P. Miskowski´s work and I'm excited to see what she does next!
Recommended for fans of quieter, literary horror.
I was provided a free copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review. This is it. (
