Shea does a great job starting with an actual extraterrestrial event (a documented sighting of a strange alien-looking being by a group of teenagers outside of Dover, MA, in 1977) and making a story out of it. These teenagers, now in their 40's, continue to be vexed by what they saw years ago (think Stephen King's "It") and struggle to keep the event from affecting their lives. One member of the group, Kelly, continues to have experiences with the "demons" that the rest of the town refuses to believe. Another of the group, Sam Brogna, even goes so far as to write a story about the Dover Demon (under a pseudonym) to try and clear his mind to no avail. Sam, Kelly, Tank, and Stephanie (the two other 1977 witnesses of the event) soon find themselves back in the middle of a mystery involving the creatures when Sam's son Nicky and his female friend, Christine, go missing while on a "demon hunt". Shea does a wonderful job ratcheting up the creepiness factor as the "Dover 4" attempt to track down Nicky and Christine, while hoping to exorcist their own demons. There are some underground scenes depicted during the search that are some of the most claustrophobic that I've read in years. This reader really appreciated a well-crafted ending that left me wanting more. Those interested in hard-to-put-down horror or who are familiar with the Dover Demon story will certainly enjoy this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The Dover Demon is real...and it has returned. In 1977, Sam Brogna and his friends came upon a terrifying, alien creature on a deserted country road. What they witnessed was so bizarre, so chilling, they swore their silence. But their lives were changed forever. Decades later, the town of Dover has been hit by a massive blizzard. Sam's son, Nicky, is drawn to search for the infamous cryptid, only to disappear into the bowels of a secret underground lair. The Dover Demon is far deadlier than anyone could have believed. And there are many of them. Can Sam and his reunited friends rescue Nicky and battle a race of creatures so powerful, so sinister, that history itself has been shaped by their secretive presence?

A little backstory for you readers and I am not going into too much detail as I do not want to give away any of the story.
Picture it - 1977. Some friends are on their way home from a movie when out of nowhere they see some kind of creature in the road with "freaky" eyes glowing in their direction. They were so freaked out by the episode that they decided not to ever talk about it.
Now shoot forward into the future by decades when one of the friends sons decided he wants to explore the theory of the a "Dover Demon" sighting around the area of the town and wants to find out if there is such a thing. What starts out as questions and rumors turns into more than the son bargained for when a camping trip with friends turns into a nightmare!
As with any Hunter Shea book there is always a buildup of fear and of the unknown as he takes the reader into the creative horror of his mind! The more I became involved in the story the more creeped out I became as that "buildup of fear" was like a wave of trepidation the more I read the book which made me turn the pages quickly to see what was going to happen next!
Wow! This book eventually became a freaking bloodfest and there was one part in the book that made me think of the horror movie Jeepers Creepers. I cannot tell you more on that because it would be a spoiler so you will just have to wonder I suppose and go grab the book to find out for yourself!
Giving this book four "creepy" stars!
Read this book with my friends, Latasha and Melissa for a buddy read over on the group "Creatures, Creatures Everywhere"!
