Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A family moves to a small town dominated by a murderous cult
Despite its eerie name, Bethany’s Sin is a pleasant place. After a life of grim poverty, this new community seems like heaven to Evan Reid and his family. With its quaint shops, manicured lawns, and fresh summer smell, the town charms the Vietnam veteran, his wife, and their daughter like nowhere else they have ever been. But beneath that cheerful façade lurks something deadly.
As soon as they enter their new house, Evan is consumed by fear. He can’t place its source, but there is something about the town’s mayor, Kathryn Drago, which makes him uneasy. By day she is a harmless retired archaeologist. But at night she leads an Amazonian cult whose next ritual calls for a secret ingredient: the blood of Evan Reid.

“3.75/5
Pretty good 1980s horror with a very unique setup for the antagonist(s).
Suffers a little from some pacing issues - slow first half, regular lengthy paragraphs often describing characters’ internal thoughts that could have been halved. Character development could also have been better, which would have had a much bigger impact especially on the ending.
Otherwise it’s fairly good throughout with the horror vibe in a seemingly idyllic, pretty village in the US where a young family move in and start encountering some deeply concerning things.
Overall the first 3 books McCammon wrote (this, Baal and The Night Boat) are all good, but not indicative of the sublime writer he ends up becoming with Swan Song, the Matthew Corbett novels or Stinger.”
