Halloween Reading: Devil Week | Town Secrets | AstraDaemon

A girl goes missing. Her body is later found dumped in the forest. Soon a video starts circulating, showing her agonizing death in great detail. It's an old story, but this time one man is determined to set things right.

When he realizes that the police are moving too slowly, retired cop Merrick Richards decides to take matters into his own hands. He knows who's behind a series of killing in Bridgeford, and he's determined to make sure that justice is done, even if that means that he has to cross over to the dark side. Soon he has the culprit in chains, trapped in an isolated basement. The tables have been turned, but how far is Merrick willing to go in order to extract a confession?

Don't Let the Devil Know Your Name is the story of a man who decides to sacrifice his good name for the safety of his town, and of a horror that soon grows to engulf an entire family.

DON'T LET THE DEVIL KNOW YOUR NAME by Amy Cross is a crime drama filled with horror and suspense. Told from the POV of retired detective Merrick Richards, the Devil appears to be having his way with the people of Bridgeford. In the process of taking justice into his own hands, Merrick unknowingly places his family in the path of great evil. Unfortunately, evil takes many forms, complicating an already complex situation.

The author creates an atmosphere of doubt about the suspect, as well as Merrick's way of justifying the horrors taking place in his underground bunker. The ending is littered with bodies. This would make a great movie.

As always,
AstraDaemon

    1. If this hasn't happened in real life, I'd be surprised. As I always say, people are the scariest monsters.

    2. I think that is what is most terrifying as well.
