The stars did wander darkling - colin meloy

A suspenseful and atmospheric horror set in 1980s Oregon, perfect for fans of Stranger Things , Neil Gaiman, and Margaret Peterson Haddix, from New York Times bestselling author and the Decemberists lead singer/songwriter, Colin Meloy.

Maybe Archie Coomes has been watching too many horror movies.

All of a sudden, the most ordinary things have taken on a sinister edge: a penny on a doormat.

An odd man in a brown suit under a streetlamp.

The persistent sound of an ax chopping in the middle of the night.

He keeps telling himself that this is Seaham, a sleepy seaside town where nothing ever happens.

Or at least nothing did, until his dads construction company opened up the cliff beneath the old--some say cursed--Langdon place.

Soon, though, he and his friends cant deny it: more and more of the adults in town are acting strangely.

An ancient, long-buried evil has been unleashed upon the community, and its up to the kids to stop it before its too late.
