It&#8217;s a collection of dark and gritty short stories. Every now and then, it references the other stories. I overlooked them the first time, but they stood out the second time. It&#8217;s a fun collection, something to turn your brain off and listen to, like a campfire story of sorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a minute since I paused my second listen and the first thing that cums to mind with the narration is &#8230; forgettable. I don&#8217;t remember much of anything about it. The narrator can&#8217;t tell the difference between &#8216;O&#8217; and &#8216;0&#8217;, which I find <em>insufferably annoying<\/em>. The narration was alright overall, but the last story was read in this boring, lifeless, dull voice that made me listen to the book a second time to make sure it wasn&#8217;t all <em>that bad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a book that&#8217;s going to move you emotionally or an adventure or whatever else, this isn&#8217;t it. If you&#8217;re looking for some creatively spooky and fun stories to play a videogame to or celebrate Halloween with, this is a decent pick in my opinion. For what it&#8217;s worth, I&#8217;ll probably be revisiting this around Halloween 2023 because movies aren&#8217;t my thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy.

It\u2019s the night before Halloween and Detroit is burning in a celebration of arson and vandalism. <\/p>\n<p>Devil\u2019s Night is a unique collection of interconnected urban horror stories taking you back to October 30th, 1987. Drawing inspiration from Michigan legends such as the Nain Rouge and the Hobo Pig Lady, Lawson weaves a rich and haunting tapestry of terror and tragedy. Inside these chapters, you will find cursed vinyl records, inner-city druids, diabolical priests, and slim slivers of hope. Devil\u2019s Night burns with Curtis M. Lawson\u2019s signature brand of supernatural dread. This is smart psychological horror, ablaze with visceral imagery, with equal measures of heart and heartache.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573,26,13,457,528,140,12,281,109,577,105,180,446,175,66,181,90,149,176],"tags":[581,582,21,8,103,579,448,583,9,53,428],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2680"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2680"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2690,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2680\/revisions\/2690"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baskervillebookreviews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
