The papers call it “The Suicide Virus.” The teenagers of Gethsemane, Ohio, are killing themselves at an alarming rate.
Steven Wrigley is trying to survive his senior year of high school, still reeling from the death of his mother and adjusting to life with his father. Along the way, he meets a girl who becomes another kind of obsession: Elise Devon.
Elise’s secrets keep her distanced from everyone. She has a special place she calls the Obscura. She goes there when she is depressed or angry. The Obscura makes her feel like nothing she’s ever felt before. When she loses herself to the Obscura, she fears she also gives herself to something much darker, something much more powerful. Something calling itself the Sorrow King.

I’ve read two other books by Prunty before this one. I preordered this one, and finished reading it last night and, to put it simply, I thought the book was brilliant. From what I’ve read, it’s his best book yet. A fantastically addictive supernatural thriller.

I just finished this book today, so far its the first book by Prunty I have read. To say this book is awesome doesn’t even do it justice. I will definitely be checking out some more of his work.
