Another of the novels by newly published authors included in the Hugo Voter package, this time a YA tale about the fifteen-year-old son of a small-town mortician, who has an obsession with serial killers, and then discovers that his mild-mannered neighbour is actually a man-eating demon. It is a little unpolished in places but I think the basics are there and that Wells will go on to better things.
I agree it doesn’t need a sequel, but I’ll be reading it anyway!
And of course, Dark Eden itself is a sequel to one of his short stories. I wasn’t aware of that when I was reading it.
