The Rain Dancers

by Greg F. Gifune 

Genre: Supernatural,horror,thriller

Teaser #1 from 2% into the ebook

Sometimes I wonder if things would’ve been different had it not been raining so heavily that night. Would he have still appeared at the door as if born of the rain, an orphan even the night didn’t want? What would’ve happened if I’d never answered the door or refused to let him in? I wonder.

But I did. I let him in.

Sounds like he and your dad were pretty close at one time,” I said.

“Yeah, that’s why this is all so strange.”

Thunder rolled.

“Why, because you didn’t remember him at first?”

The rain kept falling, slamming the house.

“No,” Bette said gravely. “Because I still don’t.”

The book cover really drew me in and I really wanted to read it after this read the blurb, so I grabbed it. I liked it from the opening passage. Made me think, “It was a dark and stormy night,” because it was. Creepy reading and very suspenseful.

Book Description:

He arrives in darkness, in the middle of a violent downpour…an affable old man with tales to tell…

When Will and Betty Colby return to Betty’s hometown to settle her late father’s affairs and prepare his house for sale, they assume they’ll be faced with some cleaning, basic repairs and making runs to the local dump. Will also hopes it will afford Betty a chance to reflect on the difficult relationship she had with her father. But something more is happening in this quiet little town, in this dark old house at the end of this seemingly deserted dirt road.

In the middle of a rainstorm, a man calling himself Bob Laurent appears in the night on their doorstep, claiming to be an old family friend. He seems harmless enough, only Betty has no memory of him. Yet he knows everything about her, her father and their lives. He even knows intimate details about Will and his life. While the storm rages on, a cauldron of tension, suspicion and fear builds between the couple and the stranger, dragging Will and Betty to the very brink of madness.

A vile and unrelenting evil has returned to claim what was taken from it long ago, and all the demons of the past, present and probable future have come home to roost. Before the storm clears and the sun rises, Will and Betty Colby will come to know the horrifying truth.

People live and die…but the evil they do is eternal.
