Story4 out of 5 stars 53
The festival was intended as a getaway from UCLA for Gary, his girlfriend, Joan, and their friends. But soon after they arrive, Joan vanishes. Calls to her parents’ home yield only dead air. Her school records are gone. And there’s no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find. Among Joan’s belongings is a prayer written on a small scroll. It’s a safeguard — and a warning — from something called The Outsiders. For Gary and his friends, it’s the only clue.

The formerly laid-back principal has become unusually strict. And with her toadying secretary, she seems to be running the show. That isn’t all. The janitors no longer work nights because of what they hear. The students are frightened by what they see. And things are happening on school grounds that defy rational explanation. But there is an explanation. It’s just not anything that anyone can begin to believe — or hope to survive.

Opulent doesn't begin to describe the Arizona getaway where Lowell Thurman, his wife Rachel, and their three young sons have come for one glorious week. Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under.

In a small Arizona town, a man counts his blessings: a loving wife, two teenage daughters, and a job that allows him to work at home. Then "The Store" announces plans to open a local outlet, which will surely finish off the small downtown shops. His concerns grow when "The Store's" builders ignore all the town's zoning laws during its construction. Then dead animals are found on "The Store's" grounds. Inside, customers are hounded by obnoxious sales people, and strange products appear on the shelves.

For the town of Randall, Arizona, the terror starts quietly, oddly - a senile woman in her 80s becomes pregnant. Then the town's beloved minister mysteriously disappears, leaving his church and home hideously defiled by blasphemous obscenities scrawled in blood. Farmers going out to their fields in the morning find their herds of goats slaughtered. Then, as the terror intensifies, the farmers themselves are massacred. The town begins to smell of death, and the trust which has bound neighbors to one another turns to ashes.

In the small town of Montgomery, Arizona, Kyle Decker's book shop is barely breaking even. When a bank opens in the empty storefront next door, he hopes the new establishment will bring in more foot traffic. Trouble is, nobody has ever heard of the First People's Bank, and the local branch has appeared mysteriously overnight. Their incentives for new customers seem reasonable...at first. But is it a coincidence when Kyle's wife has her identity stolen and his son receives emails that seem to know his private thoughts? Or when the manager of a competing bank dies a gruesome death?

For years, the abandoned MacKenzie mansion remained hidden in rural Wisconsin. Rumors and stories of apparitions, odd noises, accidents, and strange deaths in or near the property were enough to convince the townsfolk it was haunted, and they stayed away. Lucas MacKenzie and his brother, Nate, know nothing of this when they inherit the property and decide to bring their families to Wisconsin for a major renovation project with HGTV stardom in mind. As they tear out old fixtures and open shuttered windows, the house begins to reveal secrets of a terrible past.

Another Excellent Bentley Little Book!
I am so happy to have found this on Audible. As a Little fan, I am often frustrated by the lack of his books available here. Finding "The Town", a book I had not yet read by Little, was like finding an old record by your favorite band you have never heard before!
This story deals with some very heavy things-mostly the idea that humans are always one tiny misstep into chaos societally. We all have the potential to be racist, nasty, cruel and egocentric. Little deals with these themes that we are being confronted with globally in 2020 in such a sly and expert way, many might think his work is just "horror." I guarantee, it is far more than that.
As far as run down of book, the main characters, a family from California who after winning the lottery move back to the fathers hometown of McWayne, Arizona, are made to be both likable and real by Littles expert storytelling. The town they return to very much like many small towns- some decent folk, some very xenophobic folk too. The difference is this small town had some seriously weird stuff going on and soon the whole family must fight for all they are worth against supernatural powers that are far more powerful and mysterious than they could ever imagine.
Little weaves Russian and American West Folklore in with Native American mythology to create a tapestry of unique strangeness and creepiness. I do not think another writer could have made it work!
Excellent book that made me remember why I adore Bentley Little so much.
Lastly, the voice actor is perfect! Hope to hear more from him!
Great book!
Also, AUDIBLE- PLEASE MAKE MORE BENTLEY LITTLE BOOKS!!!!

Terrible
The narration was dry and the story was just boring with a few awful bits thrown in. Like all the time spent on the 12 year old boy who’s sexually attracted to his 17 year old sister.

Downloaded wrong and now can’t listen
I downloaded this a couple weeks ago - there was some strange error and it didn’t download correctly. Won’t allow me to delete and redownload, won’t let me play it - just sits in my library taunting me and if I try from the audible site it just asks if I want to open the app to listen md the loop begins again! I sent a note to Audible when it first Happened and they haven’t ever been able to fix it just refunded my credit so I guess I’ll never actually get to listen to the book. Pretty disappointing.

Substandard
This is lesser Little, hampered by a lack of sympathetic characters who seldom take an active role in the proceedings, mostly moved about like pawns by forces they don't understand. The voice actor is not appropriate for the dark material, as he has a jokey, dopey tone that clashes with the content. A struggle to finish this overlong slog.

Good story
I loved the historical aspects of the story in this as well as the author's other books. The only thing I don't care for is the incest themes - but otherwise very enjoyable.
