"People weren't always scared of things like clowns or goblins or boogeymen or trolls. Some fears had no name. Some fears were fill-in-the-blank questions without any real answer. And sometimes those fears - the fears you couldn't identify - were the worst fears of all."
The Flashlighters is the fourth installment in the Nightmareland Chronicles, which is a post-apocalyptic adventure horror following the journey of what is left of humanity in a world claimed by eternal night.
In this book, we continue our journey with John, Mariah and Marcos as they flee the smoking ruins of a small town in southwestern Nevada to continue their trek onward to reach John's daughter in Haverhill, Maine.
Along the way, the trio have a harrowing encounter with a pack of nightmares made real, which leaves our characters in a bit of a pickle.
"Sooner or later, the bad dreams got out."
In their search for a town in search of items to rectify their situation, we met a couple gents who in turn take our characters to their camp and we meet the group known as The Flashlighters.
"Pallbearers for the sun, carrying a ghost of its brilliance through the grave known as night."
Who are these people? A cult? A group of people who have somehow managed to cling to their humanity through this eternal night? Are they dangerous? The leader of the group, Father Ammon, seems genuine and to care for the Sleepwalkers - but Mariah isn't convinced. A tiny voice cautions her - will she listen? Or will she succumb to the feeling of being with a group and its soft promise of safety it seems to offer?
This book also offers a bit of tantalizing information that will feed into your conspiracies and theories formed while reading this series regarding the sun and what (or who) might be behind the events taking place.
In summary, The Flashlighters was worth the wait. Cracking the spine on this one and returning to the dark and beautiful prose of Daniel Barnett is a feeling akin to when you travel 700 hundred miles to go home for Christmas - when the door opens and you see your family for the first time in ages.
I enjoyed this installment so very much and cannot wait until we get the next one!
