Weird.

Surreal.

And very, very extreme!

In The Mouth of the Dark, Tim Waggoner brings us into an urban landscape full of monsters, debaucheries, and things that don’t just go bump in the night – they’ll tear off your head in broad daylight.

As we join Jayce in his search for his missing daughter, we learn that, sometimes, shadows are better left unexplored.

Expect to be shocked, horrified, and heartbroken.

And expect that you’ll think twice when something just a little bit odd catches your eye.

An excellent, fast-paced, and terrifying read.

Stop right here. If you're into horror, you'll want to buy this book now. Here's why.

I've always liked Tim Waggoner's writing, but THE MOUTH OF THE DARK exceeded all of my expectations and is one of my favorite books of the year. I'm trying to figure out where it places in my all time favorites. I'll work on that. I know it's very high up there.

This is a horrifying tale of a father's love for his missing adult daughter. The occult elements are downright terrifying and heartstopping. The horror is nonstop for two-thirds of the novel before Waggoner releases you from his grip for some welcome comic relief, then some graphic sexual scenes.
The ending left no stone unturned and was completely satisfying for this reader.

My only complaint was that I couldn't read it in one sitting (damn life and its interfering!) so my suggestion to you is carve out a few hours of "me" time and most imortant of all shut the world out and find a quiet place to curl up and actually be scared again by a true master of horror.

Need I say highly recommended?
