Joseph Moore, choir director for the First Baptist Church of Lenora, Nebraska, has secrets of his own. Terrible, lonely secrets. One that involves natural human desire. One that calls forth powers he cannot begin to understand. Both with the potential to destroy him and those he loves. Now the world is changing. The darkness, the shadows, the ghosts, are closing in — and Joseph and his lover, Kevin, are being stalked by a merciless demon, hell-bent on possession.

Story
A group of close friends gathers at a secluded cabin in the wintry mountains of Colorado for a final holiday hurrah. Instead, it may be their last stand. First a massive blizzard leaves them marooned. Then the more chilling realization: Something is lurking in the woods, watching them, waiting.... Now a weekend of family, friends, and fun has turned into a test of love and loyalty in the face of inhuman horrors. The only hope for those huddled inside is to fight - tooth and nail, bullet and blade - for their lives. Otherwise, they’ll end up like the monsters’ other victims: bright pools of blood on glittering snow, screams lost in the vast mountains.

Story
This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

Whoever is born here is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay never leaves. Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a 17th-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Blind and silenced, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. So accustomed to her have the townsfolk become that they often forget she's there. Or what a threat she poses.

David Young, Deacon Price, and Beth Harris live with a dark secret. As children, they survived a religious group's horrific last days at the isolated mountain Red Peak. Years later, the trauma of what they experienced never feels far behind.
When a fellow survivor commits suicide, they finally reunite and share their stories. Long-repressed memories surface, defying understanding and belief. Why did their families go down such a dark road? What really happened on that final night?
The answers lie buried at Red Peak. But truth has a price, and escaping a second time may demand the ultimate sacrifice.

Spellbinding
I really enjoyed this book. I am already a fan of Craig DiLouie, and this book did not disappoint. The children of Red Park brings out those emotions that draw us into the book, frustration, happiness, curiosity, and so much more. This book takes you into the mind of people who have suffered a traumatic incident in their past. and shares the different way each one of them has coped with it.

psych textbook meets Lifetime movie
If you threw a psychology textbook and a late night Lifetime movie into a blender, dropped in a few bits of a promising folk horror trope, added a vague concept that the story is a metaphor for grief/losing faith/finding faith, hit pulse for 10 hours, then layered in a few chunks of the Bible, you'll end up with this disappointing mess of a story. The kids in the cult aspect of the story was interesting and flip-flopped around on the edge of being a horror/thriller novel, but just as those events started getting good, the story switches back to the sad-sack adult survivors. Of the four main characters, we only got to "know" two of them. We just get told that one of the other two is scared of everything, along with multiple episodes in his past and present where he is, well, scared of stuff, and that his sister is a tough, bad-ass cop who looks like their mom. That's all you really get about her. There's very little action in the book until the very end. These mournful dopes are FINALLY taking steps to deal with their issues, and then... it's like the author just got bored and half-assed the resolution. The whole book just meandered around some angst and trauma and quite literally Deus Ex Machina'd an ending.

This story got weird, not good weird.
I am all for a good mystery, but this book got strange and not in a good way. I felt the story was truncated. He built up the characters but then did nothing with them. This could have been a much more complex story, and maybe that would ha e made the weird ending a little better.

Don’t Bother
I loved DiLouie’s other book about the virus, and I love cults as a Sub-genre. That said, don’t waste your time with this one. It has good intentions but felt rushed to meet a deadline— not that the book is fast paced. It’s just not good. It’s not creepy, the characters are cliche, what it lacks in mystery it makes up for in sentimentality. I literally stopped reading with 5 minutes left because I truly couldn’t be bothered to waste one more minute of my life with this one.

Why is this so highly recommended?
Writing a horror/suspense book with unlikeable characters makes it hard to care about what happens to them. 80% of the book is easily skipped and what’s left is highly predictable. The ending is just kind of a shrug into an oddly happy ending. Can I have my credit back?

Loved it so much
Such a great book I’ll probably buy the physical copy. I truly enjoyed it. The narrator was perfect, he really gave his all. The authors voice was clear and it felts like it could easily translate to a movie. I’m excited to read more of his work!
