Black Mouth by Ronald Malfi

5.0

Everyone likes a magic don’t they? A little deception, a little slight of hand? Well how far would you go to advance from trickery to actual magic?
In BLACK MOUTH, outcast friends Jamie, Mia, Clay and Jamie’s disabled younger Dennis befriend a guy living in the woods who is just known as the Magician.
Years later the friends reunite when there are signs that the Magician has returned, seemingly without aging. Reports of children murdering their friends may also be connected.
This coming of age story about people you can believe it. These kids don’t grow up to be the best in their fields. They grow up to be an alcoholic, a small time movie maker, and a social worker all brought together by the lovable Dennis.
Malfi nails this one. Extremely compelling and full of emotion
