Summer of Night by Dan Simmons
mysterious
tense

4.0
I liked this a lot. Major Stephen King’s It vibes. Loved the friendship between the kids. Some seriously spooky moments.
But a few things really irritated me…lots of describing fat folks in really grotesque ways. Also there is a story of a lynching with lots of slurs, could have done without that. I understand it was set in 1960 but still. Geeze. He also killed off one of my favorite characters about halfway through.
