AN ANCIENT EVIL RISES...BURNS...KILLS...

After a fire consumes the Heller Home for Children, the residents of Morganville, North Carolina thought they knew evil...

They were wrong.

Unaware of the turmoil in their new hometown, the Littles--David, Kate, and seven-year-old Becca--are moving from New York City to Morganville in hopes of repairing their own lives, which were recently shattered by an act of sexual violence.

Before long, David realizes that his family's troubles are worse than he could ever have imagined.

An ancient demon lurks beneath the town of Morganville, an unholy creature conjured into existence by the Heller Home tragedy.

Its name is Moloch.

It is hungry for the souls of the townspeople.

But most of all, Moloch wants the children. It will not rest until it has them.

All of them.

Critique Regarding Books The Wicked
No Spoiler/ No plot reviewThe Wicked by James Newman came in one of our Nocturnal Readers Boxes. I'm *so* glad it did! I'm not sure I would have found this one on my own, maybe...maybe...that cover can't really be missed! So without going into the plot too much, I will say that Newman took a classic horror trope, "Dreamy, beautiful, small town on the surface--new family moves in--all demonic hell breaks loose" and he wrote a damn good book.The characters were fully fleshed out, nobody was

There's not one single thing about this book that I didn't love! From front to back cover and everything contained in between, it was all bloody fabulous! It is the perfect homage to 80s horror and had me sucked in from the moment I laid my eyes on the cover. My favourite part of this book was the characters. There was something about each of them that made me fall in love with them. They were all so well fleshed out and developed, you can't help but become attached to them. My favourite though

As stated in the Afterward, The Wicked reads like many of those classic horror novels of the '80s that so many of us cut our teeth on...and the paperback edition from Shock Totem, with the demonic old man and faux-worn paperback look makes it worth the price alone. This was my first James Newman novel, and certainly not my last. David Little and his family move from NYC to Morganville, North Carolina, after a horrific incident. They think the idyllic small town will be a welcome change of

4.0 StarsI completely underestimated this creepy little novel. Originally, I judged this book by its fantastic cover that was designed to resemble the mass market horror books of the 80s. I looked forward to a fun horror read, but I honestly didnt expect a lot of substance. Sure, I thought I would like this novel, but I didnt know I would love it so much.At the heart of this story is a family attempting to make a fresh start after tragedy. The resulting narrative was filled with emotional depth.

Yep, doing it up 80's style. I can see my teenage self reading this on my dad's recliner while shoveling Kraft macaroni & cheese into my face on a rainy day. There were a few times that my adult self laughed out loud. (In particular, there was a scene reminiscent of Bad Santa that had me going.) I wasn't too terribly sad when characters I liked died. I was delighted when ones that irritated me kicked the bucket. Overall, a fun and quite creepy read.

I received this book in the Nocturnal Readers Box, and like a friend of mine said, I'm so glad I did because I probably would not have discovered it on my own. At least not this year. The Wicked is an homage to all the crazy, over-the-top horror novels of the 1980's, but it's so much better than most of those paperbacks that were churned out to satisfy the masses. The Wicked is a smart and very well written tribute to 80's horror.An ancient evil awakens in the small town of Morganville, NC, and
