Publisher Description
Strange things exist on the periphery of our existence, haunting us from the darkness looming beyond our firelight. Black magic, weird cults, and worse things loom in the shadows. The Children of Old Leech have been with us from time immemorial. And they love us....
Donald Miller, geologist and academic, has walked along the edge of a chasm for most of his nearly 80 years, leading a charmed life between endearing absent-mindedness and sanity-shattering realization. Now, all things must converge. Donald will discover the dark secrets along the edges, unearthing savage truths about his wife Michelle, their adult twins, and all he knows and trusts. For Donald is about to stumble on the secret... of The Croning.
From Laird Barron, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of The Imago Sequence and Occultation, comes The Croning, a debut novel of cosmic horror.
Customer Reviews
Confusing and all over
The book started off in several timelines. The author is extremely longwinded and throughly detailed to the point I trailed off while listening. This would be a better movie instead of a book.
Lousy waste of time
I can’t believe anyone liked this. I was so bored at times I literally stopped listening…not to mention the narrator’s character voices were cringe worthy. I only gave it a star so I could warn others not to wast their time and money.
Cosmic Horror at its Best
If you're a fan of cosmic horror or any of Barron's short story collections, then you'll love this.
