THE WAKING DARK
Read by Mark Deakins
BY ROBIN WASSERMAN
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
A taut, haunting read, The Waking Dark is "a horror story worthy of Stephen King" (Booklist) and will appeal to the readers of Gillian Flynn and Rick Yancey.
They called it the killing day. Twelve people dead, all in the space of a few hours. Five murderers: neighbors, relatives, friends. All of them so normal. All of them seemingly harmless. All of them now dead by their own hand . . . except one. And that one has no answers to offer the shattered town. She doesn't even know why she killed—or whether she'll do it again.
Something is waking in the sleepy town of Oleander's, Kansas—something dark and hungry that lives in the flat earth and the open sky, in the vengeful hearts of upstanding citizens. As the town begins its descent into blood and madness, five survivors of the killing day are the only ones who can stop Oleander from destroying itself. Jule, the outsider at war with the world; West, the golden boy at war with himself; Daniel, desperate for a different life; Cass, who's not sure she deserves a life at all; and Ellie, who believes in sacrifice, fate, and in evil. Ellie, who always goes too far. They have nothing in common. They have nothing left to lose. And they have no way out. Which means they have no choice but to stand and fight, to face the darkness in their town—and in themselves.

PRAISE FOR THE WAKING DARK:
“Twisted, pulse-pounding, shocking, and very, very scary. With The Waking Dark, Robin
Wasserman conjures vintage Stephen King as she peers into the dark
heart of a nightmare America, where violence and evil lurk behind the
golden glow of small-town life, and new terrors arrive by the hour. A
superb horror story that is by turns visceral and lyrical, heartrending
and heart-stopping.” —Libba Bray, bestselling author of the Gemma Doyle
trilogy and the Diviners series
“This book has the combination of mystery and fright that I love. So many twists and shocks, I nearly jumped out of my chair several times! Trust me—this is a true chiller. Not to be missed!” —R. L. Stine
“A thriller dark and beautiful and—yes—achingly romantic at every unexpected twist and turn. Astounding.” —Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author of The Infinite Moment of Us and Bliss
“Wild, nihilistic madness that will get true horror fans raising their pitchforks and torches in frenzied glee. Wasserman writes as if hooked up to IVs of Stephen King and John Carpenter's spiked blood.” —Daniel Kraus, author of Rotters and Scowler
"Great dialogue and intriguing subplots add to the action-packed story . . . the suspense doesn’t let up until the final pages." —School Library Journal, Starred Review

I am a huge fan of Rick Yancey, so if this book is compared to his writing, it must be pretty good. I would love to read what is causing people to become murderers.

Horror stories are not for me! I get nightmares too easily but my husband would enjoy listening to it.

I am interested in one of his other books, "Hacking Into Harvard". Looked at his site for more information and learned that she did go to Harvard.
