Beneath the Dark
Beneath the Dark | Ian Backhouse
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Jon Pearce is the only police officer on two small islands off of the coast of England; a beautiful and popular tourist spot during the high season, but cold and desolate during the winter months. He finds himself in over his head after a series of unexplained incidents leave various islanders terrorised, and against his better judgement, he is forced to call in Ed Thorn, a renowned paranormal investigator. Together, Ed and Jon discover that the victims of the paranormal incidents are suffering terrible consequences, specific to their own worst fears, and are being left in circumstances that are excruciating to bear. They must enlist the help of Dr Dina Melnyk, a lecturer in Occult Studies and an old friend of Ed's: she thinks she might know what it is that plagues and threatens them - and it is worse than they ever could have imagined - but not necessarily how to destroy it. Can they find who unleashed the evil entity and discover how to stop it before it reaches the mainland??

The beginning was hard for me to follow. Every chapter focused on a new character, and it was hard to see how everyone was going to tie together. At about the 30% mark it started coming together and I enjoyed the book more from that point. The book had a creepy, dark atmosphere. I can't say it was very scary to me. We really don't see the demon, just the results of his actions. I would have liked to see more scares and a more fleshed out evil.
