«Nuit d'été» is the horror novel by Dan Simmons, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (597 pages, in French).
In the summer of 1960, in Elm Haven (Illinois), a group of twelve-year-old boys watch their holidays turn sinister when a classmate disappears. They soon discover that other children have met the same fate in the town, while strange phenomena multiply: holes in the ground, the appearance of a First World War soldier, and a mysterious truck that seems to follow them. Their investigation leads them to the old abandoned building known as Old Central, where an evil lurks that only they can face.
First instalment of the «Seasons of Horror» tetralogy by Dan Simmons, originally published as «Summer of Night» in 1991. French translation by Evelyne Gauthier. Winner of the Locus Award for Best Dark Fantasy Novel and nominated for the Bram Stoker Award.
Recommended for readers of horror and supernatural suspense, especially those seeking mystery stories featuring children and set in the American Midwest, as well as for fans of Dan Simmons's work.
