hard-boiled pat,

I thought Summer of Night was quite good. It finally came out in ebook form last year, as I remember.

It's a coming-of-age horror tale, sort of similar to King's It or McCammon's Boys Life, if you're into that.

Personally I put it as my second favorite Simmons, just after Carrion Comfort, but before Children of the Night.

It's been about twenty years ago since I read it, though, back when it first came out in hardback. I need to go back and see how it's held up.
