Darkness on the Edge of Town (book)

[Kane Knight]

This is a freebie on Amazon Kindle, or at least was when I picked it up two days ago or so. Interesting premise thus far, though not entirely original. I mean, I know I've heard a similar premise to this before, but I don't remember where. It's a story told by a pizza boy in a small town that's surrounded by complete darkness. No signals from the outside world--cell phones, radio, etc. are just silent. The people who leave aren't heard from again, and the narrator alludes to whispers in the darkness.

Still, it's a free read for Kindle (or Kindle for PC, Blackberry, iPhone, etc), and it might even be good, though I half expect it to take a turn for the stupid. I'm about a fifth of the way in, and it's a little slow, but still decent.

I'd wait until I finished it, but since a lot of the freebies are time limited, I figured I'd point it out sooner. If I'm wrong, it's not like I'm wasting people's money at least. Brian Keene's the author. So many of the free books are outright shit, it's at least refreshing to see something I didn't delete before finishing the sample.
