A group of friends return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they first stumbled on as teenagers in this mesmerising odyssey of terror.
An atmospheric, haunting page-turner from the bestselling author of Come with Me.
For nearly two decades, Jamie Warren has been running from darkness. He's haunted by a traumatic childhood and the guilt at having disappeared from his disabled brother's life. But then a series of unusual events reunites him with his estranged brother and their childhood friends, and none of them can deny the sense of fate that has seemingly drawn them back together.
Nor can they deny the memories of that summer, so long ago – the strange magic taught to them by an even stranger man, and the terrible act that has followed them all into adulthood. In the light of new danger, they must confront their past by facing their futures, and hunting down a man who may very well be a monster.

My Opinion
Black Mouth by Ronald Malfi dives into a creepy horror set in a small town. I am reading Ronald Malfi for the first time and the book turned out to be very interesting. There are some very good terrifying parts that make the book interesting. Although the plot slowed down a bit in the middle, still it was fun reading it. The climax was too stretched that made the read a little bit longer. The characters especially the Magician were haunting. It is a perfect one for Stephen King fans.
I feel the book has some dark parts towards the end. Also, adding a new character was a cherry on the top when the plot was becoming monotonous. The book deserves 4 stars.
