Description

It's Christmas Eve, and Vera Coffey is on the run. She doesn't know the men who are after her. She has never seen them before, but she has seen the horrors they visit on the people who don't give them what they want, Vera has something they want. The Larkins have known violence like that ever since they were trapped in a spree shooting. They've been coping with the trauma for nearly twenty years when Vera collapses at their motel. It's a cold barren place cut off from the rest of the world. It's also where they'll have to make their last stand against an evil that has followed them further than any of them could've imagined.

Reviews

"Pitch Dark is a propulsive, layered, and brutal read. Sidor reminds you of the terrible violence of which we are capable and the heart that must be called upon to endure. A reader can't hope for more than to discover a writer possessed of both true talent and true passion. Discover Steven Sidor." --Michael Koryta, author of The Cypress House

"Pitch Dark is as relentlessly suspenseful as any crime novel you've ever read, but at the same time it's as scary as the best horror stories. Once you've met the walking nightmare who calls himself the Pitch--and his devoted henchmen--you will never forget them (try as you might). A harrowing, nonstop flight into the very heart of darkness, Pitch Dark kept me up half the night--and when I did go to bed, I left the lights on." --Robert Masello, author of The Medusa Amulet
