Dark Town, K de Leo, Zameret Ltd., 2021
This teen fantasy is about Jessica Sullivan, who moves, with her parents, to a small town in the middle of nowhere. She makes several friends at school, and falls for the most gorgeous guy in town. Life is good.
Jessica learns that the town also has some dark secrets, that threaten the lives of everyone in town, including her parents. The secrets involve the Black Plague of the 1300's. Things get spooky when Jessica starts hearing screams at night, that no one else can hear. She is attacked by an anonymous person with an axe. Her parents are skeptical, to say the least. The town's annual Harvest Fair is coming up. Jessica learns, to her horror, that a different kind of "harvest" is planned (a human "harvest").
This is a very good teen chiller/horror story. It may take a while to get "going," but it is the sort of tale that could take place almost anywhere. This will certainly keep the interest of the reader.
