Apart from roaming the outskirts of town like a madman, when home, he ranted on and on about the evil living beneath our city having been exposed, that it intended to claim our innards as its own.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sattin builds a solid foundation with our three intrepid heroes overcoming their fears and working together to do the impossible. The result is a very imaginative horror story for all ages and a monster that exists because someone figured out how to make it exist.<\/p>\n<p>I do have to say this was not a perfect read for me. It seemed to get bogged down a bit about halfway through, particularly as the kids unraveled the story of Edwina Hailee Myers, the wife of the man who started all of the troubles. Fortunately for the story it wasn&#8217;t long before things got back on track.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Silent End <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is not the best tale I&#8217;ve read this year; far too many nonsensical things are happening for my liking, but at the same time the story is entertaining and one I can certainly recommend for younger readers in middle school and above. Be aware, there are a few F-bombs and sex does come up, but certainly nothing more than the average teen will be exposed to in the hallways of many schools today.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Silent End\u00a0by Samuel Sattin Ragnorak Publishing (September 2015) 524\u00a0pages; $20.95 paperback\/$4.99 ebook Reviewed by Frank Michaels Errington Samuel Sattin makes his home in Oakland, California and has been writing for some time now.
