It's the summer of 1960 in Elm Haven, Illinois, and five 12-year old boys are forming the bonds that a lifetime of changes will never erase. But then a dark cloud threatens the bright promise of summer vacation: on the last day of school, their classmate Tubby Cooke vanishes. Soon, the group discovers stories of other children who once disappeared from Elm Haven. And there are other strange things happening in town: unexplained holes in the ground, a stranger dressed as a World War I soldier, and a rendering-plant truck that seems to be following the five boys.

What all happens during the summer of night? . . . . . . it's not pretty Old Central School still stood upright, holding its secrets and silences firmly within. Eighty-four years of chalkdust floated in the rare shafts of sunlight inside while the memories of more than eight decades of varnishings rose from the dark stairs and floors to tinge the trapped air with the mahogany scent of coffins. the walls of Old Central were so thick that they seemed to absorb sounds while the tall windows, theirI read "A Winter Haunting" it is the sequel to this book.

This was definitely a hit.Honestly, the first chapter almost
Honestly most horror or suspense books feel lacking because it's hard to build a plot that keeps someone interested without giving everything away while balancing that with interesting characters and a unique plot line but some how this manages to do that. I honestly haven't read anything else like this but I don't really read that extensive an amount of horror so take that with a grain of salt. I really appreciate how well the ending was written too because honestly the only other writer I've
It's a rainy, grey, uncomfortable and cheerless Sunday morning in January..This will bring me in the right mood for writting a review about "Summer Of Night" by Dan Simmons.If you love horror novels, then you must be familiar with names like Stephen King or Dean Koontz..So, you can count Dan Simmons also to this club ..I'm sitting here in my living room before my notebook, and asking myself how to review a novel like this!!!What about this:Awesome, gripping, tantalizing, or even a compulsive
