Summer of Night - Likewise Book Reviews

"Written in a similar long-winded fashion as longer Stephen King novels, this book combines nostalgia (even if you never experienced youth in the 60s) and horror into a slow-burning but thoroughly enjoyable horror. Most characters were fleshed out well, this story was more character and setting oriented than plot oriented imo. I did spend a lot of time angry about the kids not figuring stuff out fast enough lol"

"Such a good story. A boy trying to survive a threat to him and all the kids in his town"

"This is one of my favourite books across any genre. Not only did I did the supernatural aspect genuinely scary, but I loved the descriptions of the boys (apart from the frightening parts) just having fun. I grew up in the ‘60’s, and was definitely a “free range” kid referred to by the author on the introduction. Playing ball games that lasted all day, meeting up in areas we had assigned names, having adventures that my adult self wonders how we survived unscathed are all described here. "

"One of the best! It stayed with me after I finished. Very scared."

"Reminded me of hot summer nights of my childhood, as well as being a truly creepy read."
