The Waking Dark  December 9th, 2013  The Waking Dark Book
CoverThe Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman  It has been a year
since a series of bizarre murders occurred in the small town of
Oleander, Kansas. Just out of the blue a few townspeople killed
the first people they saw, and then committed suicide. After a
year things have gone mostly back to normal. But the witnesses
to the murders still rest uneasily.  Unfortunately there is more
murder and mayhem on the way for Oleander. Cass Porter, the only
original murderer who failed at her suicide attempt, is whisked
a way from the building where she has been institutionalized. At
the same time a huge tornado forms outside of town and begins to
destroy large swaths of the small community.  The next morning
the people of Oleander try to recover from the wrath of mother
nature. What appears to be the National Guard arrive but instead
of helping the put the town under quarantine. The scary thing is
that no one really minds that the town, mostly destroyed, is
left alone.
