Darkness

By: John Saul

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

Ted and Mary Anderson have just returned home to Villejeune, Florida, to start again. Little do they know that they will soon be drawn into a nightmare of unholy ceremony and unutterable horror.…

The small town of Villejeune, Florida, lies far enough from the inquisitive eyes of strangers and even the reaches of the law that a community with its own customs, rituals, and deadly rites has grown there. In order to start fresh after a failed job prospect and unexpected emotional trauma for their teenage daughter, Ted and Mary Anderson have returned home to Villejeune, unaware of the growing malevolence there. Soon, they are thrust into a nightmare as their sweet but troubled daughter, Kelly, is pulled into the darkness that seems to have consumed the town. Like the other children in Villejeune, her life and her very soul are soon threatened by the shadowy, ancient evil that drives the residents of Villejeune to commit their terrible deeds.

ChrisAnns review of Darkness

Loved it. Like the way it ended with the bad people being punished. Very good.

Another great Saul story

Love Johns books. Wish there were more being written. This was a unique story with good character development, despite the narrators lack of ability to make the male voices sound unique. This sometimes made it hard to tell who was talking. But her female voices were great. Looking forward to another book (hoping for a different narrator tho).

John Saul!

I've always loved this book and I really enjoyed listening to it also. Especially when I'm walking!!!! can't wait to listen to another one!

Creepy

Truly interesting

I love John Saul Novels however this narrator drive me bananas the way she read it. It’s no need for her to tell the story this way all high pitched. It caused me to have a migraine something fierce 🤕
