Summary
One morning, the residents of Walden, Virginia, woke up to find the rest of the world gone. Just...gone. Surrounding their town was a wall of inky darkness, plummeting Walden into permanent night. Nothing can get in - not light, not people, not even electricity, radio, TV, internet, food, or water. And nothing can get out. No one who dared to penetrate the mysterious barrier has ever been seen again. Only their screams were heard. But for some, the darkness is not the worst of their fears. Driven mad by thirst, hunger, and perpetual night, the residents of Walden are ready to explode. The last few sane prisoners of this small town must prepare a final stand against their neighbors, themselves, and something even worse...something out there...in the darkness.

interesting premise. ending rushed.
well worth a read/listen, no masterpiece
exciting story, well performed by Chet Williamson, but ending seems rushed, as if Brian Keene didn't really know how to end it but quickly, as if he grew tired of the story and just cut it short. he should re-write it and explore deeper into some of the ideas presented.

Top Quality Modern Horror from Modern Master
Darkness on the Edge of Town is a siege horror in a similar vein to Stephen King's The Mist or Dean Koontz's Phantoms.
Brian Keene is a fantastic writer and his stories are never dull. He keeps things moving along at a good pace and has strong, interesting characters.
Chet Williamson is a brilliant narrator and he's done some fantastic work with other Keene books. This is definitely up to his usual high standard.
A quality presentation from Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.

Depressing but amazing
This is a really good, but depressing story about a cursed world. Don't expect a resolution at the end of the book, this is a story of people during a disaster, and not the story of how they removed the curse or how they persevered or whatever. Expect realistic reactions from people in a doomed situation.
A lot of Keene's books are world ending situations, where everyone is doomed, with no possibility of escape, but he is a master of this genre. I highly recommend literally any single book of his.

Drivel.
Just pointless. Goes nowhere. No resolution. Sets up an interesting if unoriginal situation and does nothing with it. Boring and unfulfilling.
Best thing about it was it wasn’t that long at least.
