Eldritch Nights

by Ralph Burton

Astronomy student Daphne Browning likes drinking coffee, playing pool and watching the stars above her seaside town of Treadwell. She also has a sea monster living beneath her room, one with sharp claws and far too many heads. Soon Daphne starts having nightmares and the “Dark Creature” beneath her room begins threatening to destroy the entire town and beyond – that is, unless she feeds it one boy a week. The weeks fly by, and Daphne quickly finds herself becoming the most dangerous girl in town. Worse, her goth-obsessed housemate Megan is being visited by the ghosts of dead boys in the night. Turns out, Megan might just be The Chosen One. Daphne dreads the end of the week but this time, not just one person will die.

Excellent character development and story telling

Writer has done more than 100% to develop the character 'Daphne', the character stays with you even after keeping the book aside. I will also like to confess that I felt completely immersed. Once in a while everyone craves for a book like this.

If you like escapism, this is the story for you

I liked Eldritch Nights. It’s a good young adult novel. I don’t want to give too much away but I would certainly recommend it for younger readers. If you like escapism this is the story for you.

Great weird fiction

I loved this book! Despite the dark subject matter, it was surprisingly funny at times. I'd recommend it to any fans of Lovecraftian or quirky fiction.
