LaRocca's writing is lush as a Baroque painting... But LaRocca's true talent lies in his ability to bring his readers into the lives of his characters... It's through such explorations that readers can enter other lives, and feel empathy for those who are like us, and those who are not. That, LaRocca's novel seems to argue, is the point of fiction--to crack open the shell of otherness and explore all that's inside.

Synopsis

A haunting and horror-filled tale of loneliness, trauma and spiritual yearning from the award-winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes.

An insidious darkness threatens to devastate a rural New England village when occult forces are conjured and when bigotry is left unrestrained.

After a recent string of disappearances in a small Connecticut town, a grieving widower with a grim secret is drawn into a dangerous ritual of dark magic by a powerful and mysterious older gentleman named Heart Crowley. Meanwhile, a member of local law enforcement tasked with uncovering the culprit responsible for the bizarre disappearances soon begins to learn of a current of unbridled hatred simmering beneath the guise of the town’s idyllic community―a hatred that will eventually burst and forever change the lives of those who once found peace in the quiet town of Henley’s Edge.

Reviews

LaRocca has conjured for us a mad, beautiful tale of dark magic, trauma and love, and how these things intertwine — this is an author in command of powerful narrative sorceries, and is deserving of your immediate attention.
Chuck Wendig, author of The Book of Accidents
Everything the Darkness Eats is an emotionally devastating novel of unflinching violence, lost souls, and cosmic horror. Eric LaRocca’s prose sings and his characters are heart-achingly true. Another brilliant work from one of horror’s fastest-rising talents.
Tim Waggoner, author of We Will Rise
