Enter, Night

By: Michael Rowe

Narrated by: Kevin Stillwell

Welcome to Parr’s Landing, population 1,528...and shrinking.

The year is 1972. Widowed Christina Parr, her daughter Morgan, and her brother-in-law Jeremy have returned to the remote northern Ontario mining town of Parr’s Landing, the place from which Christina fled before Morgan was born, seeking refuge. Dr. Billy Lightning has also returned in search of answers to the mystery of his father’s brutal murder. All will find some part of what they seek - and more.

Built on the site of a decimated 17th-century Jesuit mission to the Ojibwa, Parr’s Landing is a town with secrets of its own buried in the caves around Bradley Lake. A 300-year-old horror slumbers there, calling out to the insane and the murderous for centuries, begging for release - an invitation that has finally been answered.

One man is following that voice, cutting a swath of violence across the country, bent on a terrible resurrection of the ancient evil, plunging the town and all its people into an endless night.

I enjoyed it

This was a good listen for the most part. Good characters though their motivations and drivers may feel odd to some because of the differences between the early 70's and today. Vicious vampires. My favorite. I enjoyed it.

The book goes off into another direction in the last few chapters of it, to explain the origins of the vampires. It threw me a little.

Scared me worse than Salem's Lot

This was a really terrifying Vampire novel. I mean what could be scarier than a 12 year old boy's black vampiric lab (dog) going to play "fetch" with him before dawn. As they climbed higher and higher into the dark mountains that the dog was bitten in my heart was in my throat! If you love to be scared, watch this!!!

Truly Frightening

Enter, Night is a deeply moving and, at times, quite terrifying vampire novel. The book is broken into two distinct-but-related stories. The first is set in 1972 and the second takes place in the days when Canada was still "New France". The story builds slowly but when it kicks in, it kicks in with a vengeance.

A warning to readers with delicate sensibilities: this isn't the book for you. It's both vividly gruesome and sexually explicit.

Kevin Stillwell does a superb job with the narration.

If you enjoyed Salem's lot you will love this.

It's like Salem lot, but has its own unique qualities. If you like old time vampire stories this is for you. Excellent narrator also.

strong start

I really loved the first half of this book but was truly dissapointed with the second half and way it ended. I would have loved to hear more about christina and Morgan and what happened to them!!
