About this listen

When Jacob left home for a new life, he pretty much forgot all about Maryfield, North Carolina. But Maryfield never forgot him. Or forgave him.

After a failed business venture in Boston, Jacob Logan comes back to the small Southern town of his childhood and takes up residence in the isolated house he grew up in. Here, the air is still. The nights are black. And his parents are buried close by. It should feel like home—but something is terribly wrong.

Jacob loses all his belongings in a highway accident. His car is stolen from his driveway, yet he never hears a sound. The townspeople seem guarded and suspicious. And Carl, the property caretaker with so many secrets, is unnervingly accommodating. Then there are the fireflies that light the night skies . . . and die as they come near Jacob’s home. If it weren’t for the creaking sounds after dark, or the feeling that he is being watched, Jacob would feel so alone. He shouldn’t worry. He’s not.

And whatever’s with him isn’t going to let him leave home ever again.

A New Dansky Classic

What Richard Dansky does so well in all his fiction - but especially here in Firefly Rain (read with real heft by Jason Crum) is make his horror meaningful. It gets under your skin...

What I especially loved about listening to this one is the balance of chills and pathos present. Dansky is a superb writer at the best of times, but Firefly Rain induced swells of emotion. I'd go so far as to say it's his best, with his short story anthology Meeting in the Devil's House a close second for being such horrific fun.
