Book Reviews of Cry for the Strangers

Book Review: Chilling, very spooky
Summary: 5 Stars

John Saul is a master of horror story telling. His stories cause shivers up and down your spine, butterflies in the stomach, and the uncontrollable urge to keep reading. I am deliberately keeping these reviews vague so as to not spoil anything.

Cry for the Strangers was, in my opinion, one of the creepiest stories I've read so far this year. Brad and Elaine Randall are looking for a place to stay for a year so Brad can write a book. When they come into Clark's Harbor, they think they've found the perfect place. It is a lovely little town with several beautiful little beaches ... and strangers are NOT welcome here. From the moment they decide they want to live there, strange things start happening. A fisherman falls overboard and drowns - tangled in his own net. Elaine discovers the corpse of a dog on the beach, with its neck broken. The fisherman's wife commits suicide. And one of Brad's former patients (he is a psychiatrist) is here - a young boy who suffered from terrible hyperactivity - and is apparently completely cured.

As things get uglier and uglier for the Randalls (and the Palmers, whose child I just mentioned), they are repeatedly told that it is because they are strangers and they don't belong here. Can they discover the secret to save their lives in time?

Saul writes true horror, so don't expect any happy endings here. But DO expect to be thrilled and chilled. Don't miss this great story.

Summary of Cry for the Strangers

Clark's Harbor was the perfect coastal haven, jealously guarded against outsiders.

But now strangers have come to settle there. And a small boy is suddenly free of a frenzy that had gripped him since birth...

His sister is haunted by fearful visions...

And one by one, in violent, mysterious ways the strangers are dying.

Never the townspeople. Only the strangers.

Has a dark bargain been struck between the people of Clark's Harbor and some supernatural force?

Or is it the sea itself calling out for human sacrifice? A howling, deadly...Cry for the Strangers.
