Going Home in the Dark

Four childhood friends return to their hometown when one falls into a coma, uncovering dark secrets from their past. The narrative centers on four childhood friends from Maple Grove: Rebecca, Bobby, Spencer, and Ernie. Three of them achieved their dreams and left town, while Ernie remained. When Ernie falls into a coma, his former companions return to the quiet community they once inhabited. They recall instances from their youth where people lapsed into comas and subsequently awakened without issue. However, the atmosphere in Maple Grove feels different after two decades. The presence of Ernie’s intimidating mother adds tension to their visit. As Ernie sinks deeper into unconsciousness, Rebecca, Bobby, and Spencer begin to recover memories they had suppressed. They recall a hulking, murderous figure and strange events that occurred during their childhood. The town appears perfect on the surface, but nothing is quite what it seems. The friends must confront these forgotten terrors before time runs out. Maple Grove seeks to reclaim its four amigos, trapping them in a cycle of past horrors. This edition offers a large print format for comfortable reading. It suits readers who enjoy psychological suspense and supernatural mysteries set in small towns. Those seeking fast-paced action or contemporary romance may find the slow-burn tension less appealing.
