The Hush

John Hart is one of the best writers of suspense and this story will have you trying to figure out the power and magic of a southern swamp called the Hush. I have read five other Hart novels and this one does not disappoint. The story is about the continuation of Johnny Merrimon's life following his young adult experiences as told in Hart's novel The last Child. This story would make a great movie because of the strong characters and the general creep and chill factor throughout the book. The ending was a bit too drawn out but otherwise was a perfectly written thriller!
