Book Review: A 3 ½ Star Review
Summary: 3 Stars
DARK SILENCE takes place in a rural town of Maine where our heroes are being stalked by unseen spirits--or are those appatitions just a figment of their imagination. Mixed with an effective subplot involving a woman's physical and mental recuperation from a mountain fall, the novel has all the makings for a truly horrifying experience. Not exactly. As usual, the author's professional pen takes the reader right into the psyche of his people who all end up battling inner demons one way or the other. Hautala's strongest strength comes from stirring twisted threats for his unhappy characters. His ability to do so always makes for a riveting read. What the novel lacks, however, is truly scary moments. The ones that do exist are fairly executed (the appearance of the woman in the mill window, for example) but are uneven as a whole. What DARK SILENCE ends up being is more of a psychological portrait of lost individuals than anything else. Certainly pleasureable if one seek that sort of thing. Just don't expect to be frighten out of your wits.-----Martin Boucher
