Basing the storyline on beautiful young girls running through a woodsy summer camp, monsters chasing them, moving quickly from one bloody terror to the next, Fuchs's really has captured that B-Movie pace and passes these images on into the reader's brain with simplistic and direct prose.
I can't really pinpoint exactly how Fuchs managed, with so few descriptives, to trick me into really visualizing this book as a vivid horror movie flashing through my mind, complete with the screams of the girls and groans of the monsters, but he pulled it off.
In '82 when Mary attended Camp Silverway, something horrible happened that she was witness to; a fluid, bloodlike creature invaded the girls cabin and almost consumed her friend Shelly, but for the heroic rescuer Tarek.
Years later, Mary is back at Camp Silverway as a counselor, determined to confront her childhood fears. But her fears are back to confront her too, and as soon as the Blood creatures show up once again, so does the oddly dressed stranger who saved her before, looking as though he had not aged one bit.
Things happen at a rapid pace in this book, with a blood dome being built over the camp, terribly hungry creatures (called Bloodans) everywhere, absorbing and taking the shapes of those they have eaten, and an unexpected twist that throws in some time travel and alternate realities, all combine to keep the pages turning quickly.
Clearly sticking true to his word, Fuchs created a B-Horror Book as quick and flowing as a movie. Though previously published, Fuchs is still new in the field, and A Red Dark Night also shows that the potential is there for more entertainments from him. So grab some popcorn, curl up by yourself so that your imagination is unencumbered with outside noises and distractions, and enjoy the show.
