Interpretation Supposing Books December Park
In the fall of 1993, the quite suburb of Harting Farms is shocked when children begin to vanish, and one is found dead near December Park--a great, sweeping expanse that is sunken below the streets and surrounded on three sides by vast woodlands--a place children believe is haunted. Newspapers call the abductor the Piper because he has come to lead children away, while kids whisper darker names for him in the school halls. Angelo Mazzone and his friends discover a link to the dead girl and take up the search for the killer, vowing to stop the Piper's reign of terror. Their teenage pledge becomes a journey of self-discovery and an odyssey into the darkness of their own hometown.Rating Of Books December Park

I wish I had written this bookOne of the more popular subgenres of horror fiction is the "coming-of-age" novel. From longer books like Robert R. McCammon's BOY's LIFE and Dan Simmons' SUMMER OF NIGHT to shorter novels and novellas such as James Newman's MIDNIGHT RAIN, Joe R. Lansdale's THE BOTTOMS, and of course Stephen King's chilling novella THE BODY, these are books that I read over and over again. I have gone through 2-3 copies of each of these classics, either due to reading them intoIn 1993, children in Harting Farms begin to go missing. The police start investigating and a curfew for kids under eighteen is implemented but no answers are found. The crimes go on. Five teenage friends band together to solve the crime for themselves, going to places in town adults arent aware of, the places kids frequent. Their investigation goes on for quite a while, and in that time theyll discover more than they expected. This was my second Ronald Malfi novel. Call me a bonafide Malfi
Great story, characters, and writing. A little over descriptive in places, but his words are so well placed it's not that big of deal.
Its October of 1993 in Harting Farms, MD, when the first body is found. Following this grisly discovery is a slew of missing children, their fates soon attributed to an enigma known as The Piper. The police seem to be at a loss for leads, and a tight-knit group of teenage boys ends up taking matters into their own hands. December Park is their story.As Malfi says in the acknowledgments, Any writer worth their salt has inside them at least one good book about their childhood. This one is mine. So
No retreat, baby, no surrenderIn the fall of 1993, in the quiet suburb of Harting Farms, children begin vanishing and one is found dead. Vowing to stop the Pipers reign of terror, five boys take up the search.Theres just something very special about coming-of-age tales, isnt there? I think its because they invoke such overwhelming nostalgia and its a trope that most people can relate to. December Park fits nicely into the same category as Dan Simmons Summer of Night, Robert McCammons Boys Life,
In the fall of 1993, a dark shadow fell over Harting Farms. Newspapers called him the Piper, like the minstrel of Brothers Grimm lore who lured all the children away. There were other darker names, too - names kids whispered throughout the halls of Stanton School and carved in the wooden chairs of the library like dirty, fearful secrets. The Cafetaria rumbled with talk of escaped mental patients from Sheppard Pratt and lunatic mariners, lustful for child blood, who ported in Baltimore and found
