The Legend of the Great Forest of Darkness
This is an exceptionally different piece of crime fiction. It's the story of an agricultural death cult based in Utah and the circumstances surrounding missing children all across the southwestern United States. Most of the narrative is by the children themselves, but there are some more consistent voices that contribute: an FBI agent with a drug habit, an overzealous academy professor, and an over-the-hill jaded and angry news anchorwoman. It's a unique read with illustrations, truly an exception among horror fiction books or horror thriller books for adults. There's a mystery involved in the title that you have to figure out, it's different among FBI mystery thriller books.
Here is how the story begins:-----------
It was a rough and grumbly voice, full of gravel and rolling along like a heavy sack dragged across a dirt road.
Say CHEESE!
Sam hesitated. "I don't want my picture taken, Miss Andrews," he said. His blue eyes darted nervously from his teacher's face to the wooden door behind and to the right of her, behind from which Sam had heard the granular voice.
He anxiously shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Miss Andrews pressed her red lips into a thin line of displeasure. Sam turned his eyes again towards the door behind her,
The door was open a crack, maybe an inch at most. Sam stopped to look, and he could see his classmate there - her name was Dorothy - sitting in the Director's chair, with the dark gray backdrop behind her.
Sam saw her smile. Then he heard the flashbulb pop after the brief splash of light startled him. He blinked to adjust his vision.
Oh no, he thought. Not again.
The director's chair - where Dorothy had sat just a moment before. It was empty. -----"A unique read among thriller horror books." - Terrence Deacon
