When local mothers start dying, the town is panicked. At first, the citizens believe the deaths are suicides. Yet fifteen-year-old Pearl is unconvinced. Pearl has known visions her whole life, known the feeling of when the darkness shifts inside her, and her power comes to surface. But having recently moved to Fullmouth, the supernatural is suddenly magnified. She now finds herself able to commune with ghosts. She sees visions of how mothers will die. Relying on these powers, Pearl faces a daunting foe and the responsibility of saving the town. The only question is &#8230; will she be too late?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s so much to love about this book. The prose is delightfully thoughtful, the main character &#8212; Pearl &#8212; is a fantastic protagonist, and the horror runs deep. Whether it\u2019s Pearl\u2019s visions or her encounters with the ghosts of women who died, the story defies many predictable tropes to keep the story fresh. Pearl\u2019s antagonists are both real and ethereal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I enjoyed the book for another big reason, too: the richness of the setting. I could see the town of Fullmouth in my mind\u2019s eye. The people in the story felt at home in this town. They belonged there. In other words, the setting didn\u2019t feel like a prop. It didn\u2019t feel like a Hollywood background made of cardboard that the characters simply walk past. Clanton\u2019s details put me on edge because I knew Pearl &#8212; our main character &#8212; was in danger. I knew because this town was dangerous, its citizens broken, its very atmosphere <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tainted<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dark Pathway: Build a Town!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good writers infuse their stories with a setting that is interesting and unique. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> writers give their setting a history and a culture. Readers want it to feel more than real &#8212; the setting needs to feel alive. That\u2019s what Clanton\u2019s town feels like in her book: you not only imagine the streets of Fullmouth\u2026 you also smell the cold air and see the citizens constantly struggling. The characters live in the town, and as readers we know this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So try this yourself with a few landmarks! Don\u2019t worry about using EVERY detail you come up with in a story. Instead, think of this as background research \u2026 the more realized your setting is, the more you have to draw upon when you start writing your story!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The library<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; Every town has a library. What does yours look like? Describe it. Who uses it? Have budget cuts created any challenges? What\u2019s the librarian like?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The town bar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; Who hangs out here? Who runs the place? This is a great excuse to go visit a few local dives so you can see and experience the richness of watering holes that exist off Main Street!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Market &#8212;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Not a supermarket. This should be the place the locals go when they want fresh stuff. Lots of towns have these \u2026 they\u2019re run by colorful characters and the products are hard-to-find. Maybe it\u2019s a little Mexican shop that also sells fresh tacos. Maybe it\u2019s a butcher shop that sells lots of cheese (these are everywhere in Wisconsin!).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now center a story around these landmarks. Let your expansive knowledge of them fuel your imagination!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ken Brosky is the author of\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Ken-Brosky-ebook\/dp\/B09HYTNCL8\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19DJPXZDGB8XA&amp;keywords=ken+brosky+the+beyond&amp;qid=1649040148&amp;sprefix=ken+brosky%2Caps%2C257&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Ken-Brosky-ebook\/dp\/B09HYTNCL8\/ref%3Dsr_1_1?crid%3D19DJPXZDGB8XA%26keywords%3Dken%2Bbrosky%2Bthe%2Bbeyond%26qid%3D1649040148%26sprefix%3Dken%2Bbrosky%252Caps%252C257%26sr%3D8-1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1649193860186000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3lEie6gD2dgj9-S5syt1mK\">The Beyond<\/a><\/strong><em><strong>, a horror novel available through Timber Ghost Press.
