 I love this book. Read it 4 years ago. An honest page turner to a southern horror.

 Clegg is kind of a clunky writer, about what you'd expect for a writer who specializes in paperback horror. This one gets under my skin, though, as the characters are disfunctional adults facing memories of abusive childhood. Don't take it too seriously and it can be fun. I've read it twice and looking forward to the alleged movie version.

 Dedicated to Steven King, The Hour Before Dark is a suspenseful mystery that follows the investigation of a murder on Burnley Island and the strange occurrences at Hawthorn Mansion.

What was most enjoyable to me about this novel was that it blended characteristics of both the supernatural and reality, making the reader unaware how the story will really turn out and how the murder actually took place. Clegg brilliantly weaves a tale of intrigue and history at the mansion which the man was murdered at, and the lives of his children while they try to figure out what has happened. It is clever, thought-out, and has all of the necessary elements to create a truly great horror novel.
