Let There Be Dark

By Allen Lee Harris

Book Overview

As a child, Matt Hardison loved to be frightened by his aunt's story about The Shadowstealer. Now Matt has written a novel based on that legend, but he's forgotten a very important part of it: that the Shadowstealer comes to life when people tell its story and gains power when people talk about it. A crucial mistake, for Matt's novel is a runaway bestseller. . . .

Customer Reviews

Harris is an excellent story-teller.

Let There Be Dark showcases nearly all of the classic elements of horror. There is the wonderful opening paragraph, foreshadowing the events to come. There is also the compelling near-complete ambiguity of the creature, which persists right up until the book's thrilling climax. Despite a few continuity errors (at one point the male leads swap ex-wives) this book shows Harris to be a talent to be reckoned with. This work shows a growing author, and an author I will want to read again.
