My Review

The title for this book is perfect and so is the cover. Something stalks Sarah and her family. History is repeating itself as evil stirs in the woods and children are once again the victims of it’s wrath. Could the curse be true? And can they stop the evil before it kills again?

Kathryn never fails to keep me totally immersed in her stories. She always gives me genuine characters. And her descriptions of their lives echoes my own childhood memories. Not the scary stuff though.

The evil that stalks these people is terrifying. How the author describes the malevolent entity that can’t be seen raises the hairs on my neck.  The fortitude and bravery of Kathryn’s character’s gave me hope they could vanquish the evil that has stalked their family for generations. But as things go from bad to the worst possible I had my doubts.

The fact that Sarah is a psychic and can see what may have already happened and what might be going to happen doesn’t always help her. She can’t always determine past from present, and even when she can, it doesn’t mean help will arrive in time. This unpredictability really added to the suspense and had me flying though the book.

Kathryn is on my auto read list. And she’s given me another bone chilling read.

Synopsis

Twenty years ago psychic Sarah Summers fled from the evil that lurked in the woods behind her childhood home after it killed most of her family, but a nasty divorce and financial hardships forced her back when nothing else could. With her son, Jeremy, she returns to her grandmother’s dilapidated house and tries to begin a new life. She meets an eligible man, police detective, Ben, who falls for her, and she prays her fresh visions of bloodshed and death deep among the dark trees are not true. Then the murders begin again and Sarah is hurtled back into the same nightmare that has haunted her her whole life. The evil in the woods is awake again…and this time it wants her last remaining brother, her son…and her. With Ben’s and Jim’s help can she defeat it this time…and live?

  1. To have psychic visions but not be able to tell past from future event visions . . . now that’s scary. Thanks for the review!

  2. Beware Of The Reader says:

    Laura if it raises the hair on your neck I can’t imagine what it would do to me! Excellent review

  3. WOW! She’s a prolific author! Thanks for sharing… I will check her out for Halloween 🙂

  4. You actually introduced me to Kathryn and I’m so glad you did. I remember all of us reading Witches. I love the cover of this one and definitely want to try it!

  5. Daniela Ark says:

    omg you always find the best authors with the best books and covers. I in love with the Carnival one! Evil targeting children is always a chilling topic for a book! Your enthusiasm for Kathryn’s books is contagious. I want to read her work too!

  6. As always, thank you Laura for reading and reviewing another one of my 27 novels and 12 short stories. Evil Stalks the Night has quite the history…it was my first ever published horror novel in 1984 (but my second written novel, The Heart of the Rose was written before it but published after it…publishers were strange in those olden days, ha ha). So I hadn’t perfected my writing or storytelling styles yet…and the original (before I rewrote and self-published it in 2013) was done on a typewriter with lots of White-Out and carbon paper for copies (ech…so happy I don’t have to do that anymore…yeah for computers!). Strange, though I started out with Stephen King and Dean Koontz my writing genres have moved on to the paranormal, thrillers and (my best selling now) cozy murder mysteries; but all combine more than one genre. I’m enjoying this 31 Days of thrills and chills a lot!!! Keep them coming, friend.

      You better chat with Kathryn. She sent me two I hadn’t read. Also, she’d love for us to Tag Team her mystery series.

  8. Ooooo if this one scared you, I don’t know what it will do to me, haha. I’ll likely read it in the day time to avoid the nightmares this could give me. Lovely review, Laura!

  9. Liliana says:

    This sounds awesome! And you see m like a huge fan of this author. I may just have to check this one out! I love characters with cool abilities!

  10. Northwoman says:

    OK this one is too scary for me. I’m happy it is good for you. Anne – Books of My Heart

  11. What an amazing cover for this book! In fact, a lot of her books have brilliant covers when you look at them…

    A great review, Laura – and this is an author I clearly need to catch up with. I know she’s also written some sci fi… Thank you for sharing!
