Just when you thought you had seen every kind of monster out there someone goes and writes something like this!
When a young child goes missing, his 9-year-old brother Eddie feels like his whole world has crumbled to dust. Things can’t possibly get worse for him and his family.
That’s until a thing starts showing up at the edge of the forest outside Eddie’s window. A thing that whispers in the night, that makes Eddie’s forehead feel funny, and keeps talking about his little brother.
Tenebrous Press has been putting out amazing things for as long as I’ve read them, and The Black Lord is no exception. Hinckley’s writing is incredibly delicate and nuanced, putting dark, horrifying words to paper with ease. I had difficulties putting this book away.
The plot is brilliantly puzzled together, with each chapter going over the events from a different family member’s perspective, often back tracking a little to give you a sense of knowing where you are, yet slowly revealing that things might not be exactly what they seemed earlier. It’s not just fantastic art, it’s excellent craftsmanship.
Oh, and the book is terrifying, in that goose bumps-inducing, chills-down-your-spine invoking way that makes you want to finish it all in one sitting.
The book is out September 12 – check it out here! Highly recommended for any horror fan!
