Suffer the Children | John Saul
5 posts | 18 read | 6 to read
One hundred years ago in Port Arbello a pretty little girl began to scream. And struggle. And die. No one heard. No one saw. Just one man whose guilty heart burst in pain as he dashed himself to death in the sea. Now something peculiar is happening in Port Arbello. The children are disappearing, one by one. An evil history is repeating itself. And one strange, terrified child has ended her silence with a scream that began a hundred years ago. From the Paperback edition.

This is the last book I need to complete my #PopSugar challenge, a book that was published the year I was born.

For fans of Paperbacks From Hell, I strongly rec this outrageous & messed up treasure. I muttered “oh my god” aloud every few pages. Sometimes I can‘t tell if it was sloppy or smart or if it mattered at all because I was so gosh darn entertained and horrified. There is a strong V. C. Andrews Gothic aesthetic but with much more of a grisly pulp horror vibe. There is a deranged tea party in here that has to be read to be believed.

BookwormAHN Sounds entertaining 😸 1y

Dad says to daughter I gotta tell u a legend to keep u out of the woods. Daughter says I know the legend. Dad: 🤯🤔??!? Daughter: 😂😂🤣🙃 jk I don‘t. Then she comes out with this: “I don‘t really know what I know or what I don‘t know, or where I found out.”

!! I kinda want it on a t shirt.

HatefulGrablin That's a great cover 1y
Michael_Gee @HatefulGrablin It really is! Wouldn‘t mind it on a t shirt, either. 1y
Reggie I really thought John Saul had died until at Stokercon they announced he had received a lifetime achievement award. And then they read a letter he wrote in acceptance. AND THEN…. They informed us he was gay and had been with his partner for more than 40 years. They were in their 80s. I was shocked. 1y
Michael_Gee @Reggie Wow I did not know ANY of that and have already passed on that info to two people. Love it. 1y

I can't take a #FunFridayPhoto of my first adult novel because it was my dad's book. And the first begat many more John Sauls and then V.C. Andrews and then Stephen Kings and, lo and behold, I'm now a horror junky. My parents worried I was a morbid child, but it's all my dad's fault: him and his glorious books. Photo snagged from openlibrary.org.

[DELETED] 2232195534 I read this one and a bunch more by John Saul. Loved them at that time. Not sure what I'd think now. LOL 8y
