For upscale Chicago couple Dan and Merrill Brewster, the old midwestern manse is an ideal retreat, and for their kids, Eric and Marci, it's the perfect place to spend a lazy summer exploring - which is how Eric and his teenage friends discover the curious cache of discarded objects stowed in a hidden room of Pinecrest's carriage house.
The bladeless hacksaws, shadeless lamps, tables with missing legs, headless axe handle, and other unremarkable items add up to a pile of junk. Yet someone took the trouble to inventory each worthless relic in a cryptic ledger. It has all the makings of a great mystery - whispering, coaxing, demanding to be solved.
But the more the boys devote themselves to restoring the forgotten possessions and piecing together the puzzle behind them, the more their fascination deepens into obsession. Soon their days are consumed with tending the strange, secret collection - while their nights become plagued by ever more ghastly dreams - nightmares that soon seep into reality.
And when a horrifying discovery surfaces, so does the chilling truth about the terrifying events that rocked the town seven years before and the mysterious disappearance of Pinecrest's last resident - a twisted legacy with a malevolent life of its own...and a bottomless hunger for new victims.

Absolutely gripping

This book reminds me of the television show Friday the 13th: The Series with its cursed objects. I failed to engage with the characters and just kept waiting for the book to conclude. The plot was not very original and the story would have made a better short story.
The narrator did a good job but I felt the voice effects (talking on phone, otherworldly voices) was extremely distracting and unnecessary.
This will most likely be the last John Saul novel I read or listen to.
Sigh....so disappointed.

Would you listen to In the Dark of the Night again? Why?
Yes, I would listen to it again because I enjoyed the base of the story.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
It starts off very slow and the mother is VERY difficult for me to deal with.What about Mel Foster’s performance did you like?
I thought that he did a good job of immersing you in the story so that you can see it.If you could take any character from In the Dark of the Night out to dinner, who would it be and why?
The Doctor so that I could ask him why. I would be fascinated to hear his answer.Twists and turns
