Violent Nights

Horror

by Ryan M. Howard

A trio of middle schoolers forms a sinister secret society.
Their first order of business?
Ritual sacrifice, of course.

Thirteen-year-old Charmane “Charm” Wilson just saved a boy’s life—but broke about a dozen laws doing it. So as she’s hailed a hero by local law enforcement, Charm knows that if the whole story ever got out, her own life could be in peril.

True, being swept up in a murderous plot wasn’t entirely her fault. However, Charm’s drastic choices while navigating the unthinkable were hers and hers alone. Now she must cover her tracks or risk being exposed, arrested, vilified—or maybe even worse.

VIOLENT NIGHTS is a twisted thriller about the lies we tell and the perceptions they lead to.

Which lies will you believe?

REVIEW

5 out of 5

Dark, twisted, and spooky (it’s not the cold weather sending chills down my spine tonight). My first thought when reading the blurb was the Slenderman stabbing, or even some of the crime shows I watch when kids are the culprit. But this ended up so much more dark and twisted, and I loved every moment of it. The way Charm can switch so easily between her attitude and personality, is astounding, and really gives you insight into her character as a whole. The real story that we get to see, in between the glimpses of Charm’s very sanitized statement, is pure nightmare fuel. Although these are just kids, it really makes you wonder how well you really know the people in your life, and how many are secretly like Charm, while presenting a kind and sweet face to the world. Cannot recommend enough for horror lovers that don’t mind a bit of gore!
