Reunion Kindle Edition
For years, they solved mysteries, caught crooks, and slayed monsters. They were secret heroes, keeping an idyllic small town in the middle of America safe from the things that lurked in the dark.
Then, the year of their high school graduation, the darkness came for them.
During what the media called “New Year’s Evil,” a demonic force rose to turn their hometown into a literal Hell on Earth.
They gathered to stop it. They fought. And they won.
The rest of the world never discovered the truth behind the disaster. For 20 years, the four tried living like normal people.
Now their past is coming back to haunt them.
The darkness is gathering once more. They’re summoned back to their hometown to face it, along with everything else they left behind.
Last time, they saved the world. This time, they’ll have to do something much harder.
They’ll have to save each other.
For fans of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Victoria Schwab, REUNION is the story of what happens when the good guys grow up.
“An incandescent horror novel where ancient legend meets the American heartland, with characters so real and engaging, I felt like I’ve known them since childhood... Dark fantasy at its finest.”
— Elizabeth Hand, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Generation Loss and Hokuloa Road
“REUNION is a gleeful horror/thriller mashup… hilarious, shocking, and genuinely suspenseful. There is no limit to Christopher Farnsworth's imagination.”
— Ben H. Winters, New York Times bestselling author of Underground Airlines and The Quiet Boy
“Christopher Farnsworth combines myths old and new into a harrowing, gripping novel where the past and present of a small town's unlikely band of heroes collide, with the fate of the world — and their friendships — in the balance. Fans of Stranger Things, Yellowjackets, and well-told fantasy will love it.”
— Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds and Mr. And Mrs. Witch
“The Nicolas Cage of high-octane fiction... REUNION is a classic slice of weird Americana, served like the best apple pie you ever tasted if it was laced with cyanide. I wish I was reading it for the first time again myself.”
— Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Violent Century and By Force Alone
“With heart-pounding action and sly dialogue, REUNION is a book you’ll be thinking about long after putting it down. I loved it!”
— Brendan Reichs, New York Times bestselling author of Nemesis
“REUNION is the book I've waited for my whole life. When I was a kid, I inhaled all the adventures about young heroes — the Tom Swifts, the Nancy Drews, the kids who discover magic — and desperately wanted to know what happened to them when they grew up... but REUNION is more than that — it's also an affecting story about the pressures of being a child prodigy, the debts owed to family and friends, and the hard work of living the rest of your life. It's frickin’ brilliant.”
— Daryl Gregory, award-winning author of Spoonbenders and Revelator

The novel Reunion by Christopher Farnsworth is a wonderful story that takes you on a truly exciting adventure into the small town of Middleton. Reunion introduces four characters, with unique individual abilities, that work together to save their hometown (Middleton USA) from a great evil when they were children. Now they are adults and as the evil returns, they must come back together to save Middleton, the world, and their High School reunion from being consumed by an ancient evil (and not in that exact order).
Reunion incorporates a unique magic system, swords, tons of action, sleuthing, science/tech, humor along with well developed and instantly likable heroes that will keep you turning pages until you finish the last line of the book. Totally worth the read as it opens the door on a world (and evil) you never knew existed but turns out it is closer to our world than you might think. 10 out of 10!
No, the story here is one of human nature, of great power and responsibility, of friendship, loyalty, love and heartbreak. It is just done in a way that makes one jump up and shout (Neither my cat nor my wife enjoyed that moment but it was worth it).
Full disclosure, I am a huge fan of this writer. Christopher Farnsworth has been capturing my imagination for years now. I am always eager for him to release something new and when he announced Reunion was coming, I preordered the physical and kindle edition. Like I said, I am a fan. Well, it could be fair to say I am a fanboy so when a new book comes out, I am really eager to get into it. And I was not disappointed. Not one bit at all.
The boy magician. The warrior princess. The brilliant one. The genius detective.
The archetypes of our favorite stories of our youth. Solving the impossible crimes of our youths with a dark twist. There is more than meets the eyes in Small Town America. Something that is Sinister, Absolute and Dark has come to roost in the heart of America and it is determined to bring about The End.
Our heroes are brought together, like a league seeking justice or a team of avenging heroes. Each of them powerful on their own, what could make them unite? Why do they join their forces together?
An evil necromancer bent on bringing about The End. Not often you have to combine mad science with street smarts with otherworldly strength with magical powers. But an evil necromancer is a big enough threat on its own. Toss in a small town conspiracy mixed with a death cult and you got yourself a stew!
Honestly, the whole story feels effortless. It reads in a way that is cinematic and beautiful. The story unfolds in a way that brings joy to my heart. And it is not just the story that you are given. Farnsworth creates a world that has some incredible stories at the forefront and more hidden below the surface.
That's right.
There is more at play here than just the latest horror going on. There is a threat that is alien yet it is also familiar if you are a fan of Farnsworth.
We see a little bit of the past of their four tragic heroes, forced to grow up way too soon and face an evil that is all too real for many of us, as the horror of violence in schools comes to their classmates on a night that was supposed to be one of their happiest. You save the day but at what cost?
The scars of that night follows them all the way to their 20th high school reunion, where the echoes of that horrifying night still haunts each of them. The End still wants what it wants and the heroes come back, older, colder, and a little more bitter than before.
Reunion is a book with a ton of promise that fulfills in spades while promising that there is a chance for more.
One thing I want to mention is that the magic that is presented in this book is not a bunch of silly lights or subtle artes. Farnsworth wanted to give us the big show and he delivers it with some of my favorite magical duels I have ever experienced. And thank god he did it because I am tired of subtle magic or the kind of magic that is brought down to a scientific level where it stops being big and cool. Its big, its awesome and it doesn't apologize for blowing your mind.
My imagination will be swirling for days, if not weeks or months after reading this.
It is a book I will be reading again soon.
I’m a big fan of Stephen King and am willing to argue with anyone that “The Dark Half” is his best book. Farnsworth has a similar style in Reunion—peppering sarcasm, wry wit, and laugh-out-loud insider jokes throughout some of the most harrowing sequences—which just makes the book that much more compelling and enjoyable.
I cracked the spine before takeoff and didn’t close it until landing—then I read it every few spare minutes I found during our family vacation. Basically, I devoured it and was bummed when I finished it last night. I woke up still thinking about poor Tesla and wondering when Farnsworth will publish a sequel.

Overall, it was a good story, but not overly thrilling. Would I read it again, yes I think I would.
“Reunion” is no different.
I thoroughly enjoyed the back and forth, give and take of the interwoven stories of the four main characters. The characters’ stories meshed well with each other and with the overall storyline. I thought for sure one would eclipse the others, but that didn’t happen. The story was well balanced with excitement and fun, and plenty of other characters and action thrown in as well.
I stayed up wwaayy too late finishing it…but it was so, so worth the sleep deprivation!!
