Those Who Walk in Darkness Listener Reviews

" Interesting premise, light on follow-through. Could have been a provocative parallel between discriminating on meta-normals based on the actions of a few and other discriminations, but it wasn't explored deeply. A quick Sunday-afternoon read after finishing Moby Dick. "
