Description
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid She might be back."
In the fog-drenched hills of San Francisco, siblings Lizzy and Dylan were once inseparable. It was the only way they could survive a childhood of horror and evil…until one final bloodstained night left them near-dead orphans.
Now in their twenties, each has taken a wildly different path through life: Lizzy is ambitious and polished, compulsively driven to escape her haunted past and the forbidden truth that still whispers in her soul, while her younger brother Dylan hitch-hikes across the country, homeless and half-insane, obsessed with a return of that dark realm and the sinister presence that hungered for them.
But something ominous is happening in the City by the Bay. Whispers of a strange fog that floods the streets at night, of beckoning shadows and dreams of a crumbling manor aloft over the city. As Dylan had feared, the Dark Lady has returned at last, and soon there will be nowhere for brother or sister to hide.
"Although you may be done with Her, I'm not so sure She's done with you."

Children of the Fog
Is a eerie tale of childhood monsters that don't quite leave you, even when you grow up. Though it does have a slow start, it does pick up after the first chapter and is very immersive on some realities. Anderson did not disappoint, enhancing the unsettling element of the fog, and the personification of the main characters nightmares.
I received an e-ARC copy of this book from the publishers on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a novel about a brother and sister who faced something horrifying as children. They each went a different route dealing with this trauma. And now, as adults, they realize it's back and they have been marked.
Taking place in San Francisco and having horrific things coming from the thick fog is a great premise. And there are some truly unsettling things that happen.
Keep in mind that I think this author writes very well and there are some solid scares in the pages. In fact, I KNOW people who would absolutely love this book. But for me, personally, I was taken out of the story due to (for me) excessive descriptions and details which bogged down the narrative.
And that's really a shame because if those were a little tighter this would have been a much better read for me. But, there are still lots to like and I would recommend it to those who love details more than I do.

This does start out a little slow but then it picks up around chapter 2. It's an eerie, creepy story about a brother and sister who went through something horrifying as children. Now that they're adults, they realize their childhood night isn't over. This horror did not disappoint and I'm excited to see what else Anderson comes up with.
