Publisher's summary

From the author of Nights of the Living Dead and The Majorettes... John Russo.

The little creatures came to play, and now in fresh-dug graves they lay.

Cynthia and her three little brothers had heard the stories of their grandpa, who could summon demons and compel people to die with a curse.

So, when the children discovered they, too, had the ancient power, they knew what to do.

At first, they caught smallish demons who had assumed the shapes of rabbits and birds--and then larger demons, like the ones who resembled little Jimmy Peterson or his pretty red-haired sister.

Now they are growing, their powers swelling, nourished by adult dreams and desires. Soon they will gather their own kind from the earth’s dark corners. Soon they will prepare their rituals….the blood-red ceremonies performed one by one at…Midnight!

Great story, horrible narrator

I'm a big fan of the original film, and wanted to hear this audiobook of the novelization, written by the film's screenwriter and director. The story is just as good as the movie, but the narrator is one of the worst I've ever heard. He gives every single character in the book, and I do mean EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER, a cartoonish, overly exaggerated, Gomer Pyle-type Southern accent, which the characters in the movie didn't have. It's horrendous and unlistenable. I'll probably buy the Kindle version and finish it that way. I don't ever want to hear this narrator's attempt at "characterization" again.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
