Narration In Favor Of Books Second Child

Secret Cove. Ruggedly beautiful and remote, bordered by dark woods and deserted beaches, this postcard-perfect village harbors the mansions of the wealthy—families who have summered in splendid seclusion at Secret Cove for generations. Here, one hundred years ago, on the night of the annual August Moon Ball, a shy and lovely servant girl committed a single, unspeakable act of violence—an act so shocking its legacy lives still.

And now, long after the horror of that night has faded to a tale whispered by children around summer camp fires, an unholy terror is about to be reborn.

Now, one family is about to feel the icy hand of supernatural fear—as Melissa Holloway, shy and troubled and just thirteen years old, comes to know the blood-drenched secret that waits behind a locked attic door... For in the dead of night a Secret Cove sleeps unaware, a soul-chilling presence slowly begins to enact a terrifying vengeance.

Second Child: It is unspeakable evil merely Melissa's nightmares made horrifyingly real? Is it the manifestation of deadly fury risen from the grave? Or is the heart-stopping horror soon to be unleased in Secret Cove something even more insidious--something unimaginably evil...and alive?

Evaluation Epithetical Books Second Child

After many years I came back for an old John Saul novel I missed back then and wasn't disappointed. There is no other author mixing appaling family secrets with horror and ghost appearances like John Saul. You really feel for Melissa and Cora hate Phyllis and cant' believe the stunning details you read about Teri and her former family. Everything takes places in a small village world of inhterited money, a very plausible setting, even today. What about D'Arcy? An absolute page turner with

Good book, a real page-turner. This is one of John Saul's best. I can see it being a movie.

NOTE : see this review and more on http://cocainepages.wordpress.com Oh well I wish I'd have been able to give it even three stars, but I can't. So this gets a well deserved "it was ok" status. I remember that after I read a book of Saul's, for the first time, I was so excited! He seemed to be such a good author, and I really liked the way he presented things! But I think what I read then was a lucky shot, because up to now everything else I've read from him turned out to be not so good! He

This is a deeply disturbing novel by Saul, and one of his best. The story centers upon a family in a rich resort town in Maine. The father Charles was born to wealth and divorced his society wife shortly after they had a child and married the nursemaid (who was carrying his child). His second child was the love of his life, but not his new wife, who makes mommy dearest look like a poster child on how to raise a child. After a 'tragic' fire that kills her parents, the first child moves in with

Second Child by John Saul is a horror novel about a girl (Melissa) who is abused by her mother and is protected by a 100 year old ghost which lives in the house. Melissa's half sister Teri comes to live with the family because her mother and stepfather were killed in a fire which it turns out Teri started intentionally so that she could live with her rich father. There are two good examples of motifs in this book which are Melissa's pearls that her father gave her and The straps which Melissa's

This was the first book I read by John Saul. I was maybe 13 at the time and I found it in a basement. I was bored and figured I'd read. I opened it out of curiosity and was yanked in by the the first line- "When Polly MacIver awoke just before dawn that morning, she had not the slightest presentiment that she was about to die."I devoured it and it scared the shit out of me. This is not what I call a 'visually' scary book. Saul does a good job with scene setting and you can easily imagine

I. Love. It.My favorite characters are D'Arcy and Melissa! What I like are the spooky chapters! The book is now my fave book of all the horrifying books! The important thing I learned about is be nice and be good to people and animals and never harm/murder them! Because you'll never know if they have a ghost friend who will make you pay for every wrong thing you ever done! And you'll suffer in hell just like mean Teri! Melissa has no mean bone in her body so be like Melissa!Thank you John for
