Essay on "EVIL STALKS THE NIGHT"

This is the second GUEST POSTING that Kathryn Meyer Griffith has made here at Vampire Review. (And we thank her!) Previously, she wrote THIS fabulous guest post.

EVIL STALKS THE NIGHTby Kathryn Meyer

The book itself is a romantic horror novel about a divorced
woman, Sarah Towers, and her six-year-old son, Jeremy. Sarah is forced, by desperate circumstances, a nasty divorce and financialhardships, to move back to the old neighborhood where she lays claim to a dilapidated house that her deceased grandmother bequeathed to her. Sarah does not want to return because her family, parents and siblings (except for one brother, Jimmy) have all been murdered by an eternal malevolent entity that lives in the nearby woods.

So while Sarah makes a new life by fixing up the old home, she comes to cherish it and develops a new love interest with Detective Ben Raucher, a local cop. That's all while the eternal evil is reawakening.

What complicates everything is that Sarah is psychic. She faces her fears and the entity-from-the-woods and prays that her fresh visions of bloodshed and death (deep among the dark
trees) are not true. Yet the murders begin again and Sarah is hurtled back into the familiar nightmare that haunted her since childhood. This time the evil-in-the-woods wants her last remaining brother, Jim; her son…and her! In the end? (Well, you'll just have to read the book to find out!)
