When Jacob left home for a new life, he pretty much forgot all about Maryfield, North Carolina. But Maryfield never forgot him. Or forgave him.
After a failed business venture in Boston, Jacob Logan comes back to the small Southern town of his childhood and takes up residence in the isolated house he grew up in. Here, the air is still. The nights are black. And his parents are buried close by. It should feel like home—but something is terribly wrong.
Jacob loses all his belongings in a highway accident. His car is stolen from his driveway, yet he never hears a sound. The townspeople seem guarded and suspicious. And Carl, the property caretaker with so many secrets, is unnervingly accommodating. Then there are the fireflies that light the night skies . . . and die as they come near Jacob’s home. If it weren’t for the creaking sounds after dark, or the feeling that he is being watched, Jacob would feel so alone. He shouldn’t worry. He’s not.
And whatever’s with him isn’t going to let him leave home ever again.
My thoughts
Richard Dansky’s FIREFLY RAIN is a slow-building, suspenseful horror thriller that will entertain you until the end. When Jacob Logan returns to his childhood home in North Carolina, things just begin to weird him out. Like why don’t the fireflies cross the property border and who stole his car and where the hell is it? The caretaker Carl is very secretive and Office Hanratty is one creepy gal. What is going on in the little town of Maryfield and why can’t Jacob leave? Dansky pulls the reader into Jacob’s dilemma and has created an fascinating tale of terror.
