Everything the Darkness Eats

“”LaRocca’s writing is lush as a Baroque painting… But LaRocca’s true talent lies in his ability to bring his readers into the lives of his characters…”” – The New York Times A haunting and horror-filled tale of loneliness, trauma and spiritual yearning from the award-winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke . Shortlisted for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. An insidious darkness threatens to devastate a rural New England village when occult forces are conjured and when bigotry is left unrestrained. After a recent string of disappearances in a small Connecticut town, a grieving widower with a grim secret is drawn into a dangerous ritual of dark magic by a powerful and mysterious older gentleman named Heart Crowley. Meanwhile, a member of local law enforcement tasked with uncovering the culprit responsible for the bizarre disappearances soon begins to learn of a current of unbridled hatred simmering beneath the guise of the town’s idyllic community―a hatred that will eventually burst and forever change the lives of those who once found peace in the quiet town of Henley’s Edge. – ASIN: 1803366397 | ISBN13: 9781803366395 | ISBN-13: 978-1803366395
