The thing I loved most about this story was that the monster felt familiar while still being interesting. We have all read books with vampire-like creatures in them, it's a monster most of us know and love. However in Crepuscular even though we get a very classic monster the story itself was unique and fresh. I was never bored, if anything I was anxious and also a little heartbroken!
I was really rooting for these kids... no real happy endings here though!

Thanks to Horrorsmith Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I was beyond excited for this when it was first announced. The blurb is everything I love in a horror story. Unfortunately, the author's choice to centre this around a kid's POV didn't work for me at all. I could live with the omniscient narrative voice. It wasn't tightly pegged to any particular character so it didn't have to sound authentically like something a tween would say but the dialogue was inexcusable. No thirteen year old, after a traumatic experience, is going to say, "Instead of arguing with each other, we should formulate a plan and decide what to do next. I’d like you to be part of that conversation… if you feel you’re ready to join the others" I mean, come on. And it wasn't one or two lines that sounded unrealistic. None of the dialogue rang true. That lack of authenticity made it really difficult for me to connect with the characters. This became a novella I forced myself to read in one sitting because I knew if I put it down, I'd find it impossible to pick up again.
There was also a sexual element that added nothing to the story. I get that 'slutty' mean girls have been getting the worst deaths in slashers since horror movies have been a thing but referring to a middle-schooler as voluptuous and promiscuous is not it. I'm not implying anything nefarious on the author's part with that observation; it's simply another example of how they've wildly misjudged how to write these characters to match their supposed age. This story could have been about high schoolers with no change. It could have been about adults on a team building wilderness retreat with very little change.
It's disappointing how much these issues dragged the story down. The actual plot is a fast-paced riff on 'Salem's Lot that I would have enjoyed a lot if I wasn't constantly thinking, 'No kid talks like this!'

This is a rather atypical YA vampire story; atypical because I'm not convinced it's really either a vampire story or YA! The premise is interesting and easy to digest: a group of kids on a bus returning from summer camp come back to their home town to find it overrun by vampires; they have to figure out a way to survive on their own, especially since the vampires are now their parents, siblings, and neighbors. Thankfully, they do get help from a teacher, and they discover the origin of the vampire attack as well. Sounds fun, right?
Well, things are not really that straightforward. First of all, the teacher is on forced leave due to allegations of sexual harassment against him by a thirteen year old girl. Second, the girl herself is an obnoxious little pos, and her allegations seem obviously false once you get to know her. Third, the kids are thirteen year olds or younger, but they talk and act like three times that age (several reviewers have pointed this out, so I won't say any more about it). Fourth, the traumatic experiences bound to arise due to the vampires being their parents, never actually register on the kids, or not convincingly at any rate. Fifth, the vampires themselves act more like intelligent zombies rather than blood-sucking fangers: they eat the victims, and attack en masse, precisely like zombie hordes. Sixth, the police, the phones, the radios - are never appealed to or used; I don't even remember any police or sherriff or whatever among the vampires. I don't know how to explain this. Seventh, this did not feel like a YA book at all: there's a sexual component (cashed out as one main character implying she's being molested by her father, and as a very uncomfortable sexual scene between two thirteen years olds, where the girl just mentioned takes the initiative and shows she's quite experienced in this); the dialogue often mentions things not for YA ears (such as what the teacher might fantasize about doing to children if he's attracted to kids); and the cliffhanger ending is so bleak, I for one wouldn't give this book to a kid.
That said, I have to admit I finished the book in one sitting: it's well written, superbly edited, and fast-paced. The story, though familiar, is never boring. The kids are likeable, even it's hard to visualize or relate to them as real kids.
Did I enjoy myself? Yes. Would I read another book by the same author? Definitely. Would I recommend this to a fellow horror reader? Sure, as long as it's not mistaken as YA fiction. So grumbling aside, the book is worth reading!

Bobby is bored. Just before he was to leave with his brother and friends for summer camp, he broke both his legs. He’s been sitting at home with nothing to do for weeks. But something has been going on in their little town. It’s now been five days since the power went out, and he hasn’t seen his parents all day. At least, he hadn’t seen them until night fell…
Dylan, Bobby’s brother, is on his way home from summer camp with about 25 other local kids. It’s late; due to all the storms, the bus has had to repeatedly detour from its regular route. The driver pulls up to a tree across the road, and leaves the bus to attempt to move it. Before he can a creature leaps out from the trees and attacks him, dragging him back. After spending the night on the bus, the kids set out in the morning for home. But when they arrive, no one is to be found anywhere. At least, that is, until night falls…
Fast-paced, YA read. I can see people disliking the end, but I thought it fit perfectly for such a bleak story. 4 stars.

I’m always down for a good monster story, and Crepuscular delivered a fast-paced, eerie tale that gave me Salem’s Lot vibes. The small-town setting worked perfectly for the creeping sense of dread, and the YA horror angle kept the story moving. My only real drawback was the dialogue. It sometimes felt stiff and unnatural, especially when it comes to the younger characters, which pulled me out of the moment. No kid talks that robotically. Still, the story had plenty of tension and atmosphere to keep me turning the pages. Overall, a solid, chilling read for fans of small-town horror.

Thank you Horrorsmith Publishing for the ARC copy.
Crepuscular follows a group of kids on their way home from summer camp only to find their town abandoned until night falls.
Overall, I enjoyed the story. I wouldn’t say this kept me up at night or did I need to turn on the lights to keep the shadows at bay. I enjoyed it for what it was, a fast-paced horror story filled with suspense, tense moments and mystery over what happened to their town.
Some parts of the dialogue seemed unrealistic for kids to say. Normal kids would be losing their minds over something as traumatic as watching the bus driver be dragged away into the woods; instead, they tried having a conversation about their next steps. I would probably have believed it more if they were high schoolers. There was also a scene with some sexual elements between two of the kids which I could have done without. Again, it would have been more believable if they were high schoolers.
If you like small-town horror and suspense, then I would recommend this to you.

Crepuscular was a fun, vampire coded read with strong YA vibes, which I personally enjoy. The story follows a group of kids who return home from summer camp only to discover that their parents, neighbors, and families are not what they seem.
What I enjoyed:
The tension and mystery the author created, I was constantly wondering what was really going on. Shit gets weird.
The friendships between the kids, which grew and changed in meaningful ways.
The gore, which was brutal when it needed to be but never felt overdone.
What I wished for:
A more solid conclusion. The ending felt unfinished, and I wanted just a little more resolution.
Overall, this was a good read that kept me interested the whole way through. It’s a creative mix of mystery, horror, and YA style storytelling.

A YA thriller involving Vampires.
This was a quick read that follows a group of young teens that return from summer camp to their small town, only to find it deserted.
The group has to come to terms with their dire situation and determine who to trust.
Can they work together to figure how to escape and hopefully save their families?
If you enjoy YA horror and vampire stories, this is worth giving it read.

There is nothing better than a story that will keep you awake late into the night, peaking outside from behind the curtains to make sure the fictional monsters haven't escaped the book and invaded your town next. This is what Crepuscular invoqued for me.
A good story with a combination of loss, pain and emotion that will leave a hole behind.

(3.5/5 rounded up to 4 for this platform)
This was a quick and eerie read that definitely delivered on suspense. The premise is kids returning from camp to find their town empty and something sinister lurking. It hooked me right away, and the story had some great twists that kept me guessing. The atmosphere was creepy and tense, which I loved.
That said, there were a few elements that felt completely unnecessary to the story, which pulled me out of the experience a bit and ultimately dropped my rating. Still, if you’re looking for a fast, unsettling horror read with a strong survival vibe, this is worth picking up.

They left for summer camp expecting mosquito bites and campfire stories. They came home to silence, devastation, and shadows that don’t move quite right.
What should have been the end of summer turns into a fight for survival when Dylan discovers his brother is among the missing—and the only clue is a half-written warning: Don’t trust anyone. Not even—
Fast-paced, eerie, and full of “don’t read this alone at night” vibes, this story blends small-town mystery with creeping horror. Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic suspense who like their twists sharp and their tension unrelenting.

Crepuscular follows the events in a small town in Maine after major storms hit the area. Strange things are happening and townsfolk are disappearing. This was so fast paced and engaging, I read it in one sitting. The only criticism I had was the open endedness of the book. Without a definite solution to the problem at the end, I was a little disappointed. 3.5/5 stars.

Crepuscular
By: A. A. Pfau
Publisher: Horrorsmith Publishing
Publication Date: August 12, 2025
ASIN: B0FKBYGDR2
Page Count: 162
Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Skull Dread Rating: 💀💀 (for the creeping sense you should probably check your locks… again)
Crepuscular is eerie, tense, and a little heartbreaking—the kind of story that makes you wonder what would be waiting for you if you left home for a month and came back to find… nothing. A tight, unsettling read that proves sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the monster—it’s what (and who) is missing.
What Did I Just Walk Into?
Think Stand by Me meets The Mist—only instead of finding a body, the kids come home from summer camp to find their whole town empty, the coastline wrecked, and something in the shadows that clearly didn’t come for the saltwater taffy. Oh, and Dylan’s brother has vanished, leaving behind a cryptic “Don’t trust anyone. Not even—” before the note cuts off. Which is exactly the sort of thing you don’t want to read in a creepy, empty house when the power’s out.
Here’s What Slapped:
Immediate hook. By page two you’re already squinting into the dark corners of your living room.
Post-disaster tension. The storm is over, but the real nightmare is just clocking in.
Gritty, emotional stakes. This isn’t just about monsters—it’s about missing family, broken trust, and the gnawing dread of “what happened while we were gone?”
Kids you actually root for. They’re messy, scared, and determined—which makes the gut punches hit harder.
What Could’ve Been Better:
If you like happy endings… yeah, maybe go read a nice cozy mystery after this to recover.
There are a few lingering questions (probably intentional) that will leave conspiracy-brain readers spiraling.
Perfect for Readers Who Love:
Small-town horror with a creeping, post-apocalyptic vibe
Stories where the real danger might not be the thing lurking in the shadows
YA-adjacent survival horror without the sugarcoating
Ending a book and immediately checking the streetlights outside

High schoolers in horror is a difficult proposition. The genre rarely represents them well, so much so that when it does it almost invariably defaults the artefact to timeless classic status. Kids are overwhelmingly precocious, over sexualized, and/or lumped into stereotypes that are more geared toward the irrational worries of parents than anything real-life. To show teens in their true form is a hell of a task. But there is another approach. A writer like A.A. Pfau can swing full pelt in the other direction - in the spirit of Corman films or grainy grindhouse ambience that would have made Golan Globus money, just make the teens completely absurd and go all in on the shock-horror. Reading Crepuscular, one can almost envision the slightly out-of-synch ADR because they couldn't afford boom mics.
The tropes are all here. The dialogue is AWFUL but to such a degree it feels like parody. Pfau gives us the boy scout, the headstrong challenger to the former's leadership, the slutty girl - and yes guess what happens to her, the Madonna, and the loyal fat "Piggy". The idiotic adults also put in an appearance. But Crepuscular drops character now and then. The setting is inspired. The prose, while befitting a short story more than a novella, is effective. There are episodes of stunning tension. And Pfau breaks some of his own favorite tropes - our Madonna becomes sexual. The degrading, exploitative deaths are not just for our slutty girl. Had Pfau worked on the dialogue and committed further to trope-breaking, Crepuscular might just have been that rare work of art it clearly doesn't want to be.
But that's okay. As Scorsese said of Corman, it's art. Just in another way.

Crepuscular was a creepy story of a group of friends that return from spending 4 weeks in the woods at camp. But upon their troubling return, they realize everything is off! There was a bad storm that passed through, but the storm isn't what's wrong with the town. The town is somewhat empty but once they enter their homes, they see the real problem. Their families are not themselves.
Dylan, one of the boys returning from camp, can't find his brother, Bobby, anywhere. Bobby left a note behind though. The note says "Don't trust anyone. Not even..." but not even who?
The story is exciting and chilling. I was really rooting for these kids to make it to the end. But then when we get there and there isn't really a conclusion to the story. The story has supernatural, fictional vampire like monsters hiding in the darkness, giving the story that eerie, chilling, spooky vibe.
The story is written well and I think it would be great as a YA for younger readers looking for something a little creepy to read.

A fresh take on the familiar monster. When Dylan and his friends return home from summer camp, they find the people of the town are missing. Dylan's brother has left a note, not to trust anyone. A. A. then ramps up the action from there. This is a dark, YA story with the vibes of Salem's Lot. Great quick read.
September 25, 2025
This one will definitely keep you on your toes, and wanting more. Which is actually my only complaint about the entire book. I wanted more of it! Crepuscular is a quick burn, in my opinion, that has the creep factor on lock down from the very beginning until the very end. This is definitely a must read, not an add to TBR and leave.
September 11, 2025
If you’re a YA fan, or a vampire fan (or both), you’ll go for Crepuscular. The high school and Dracula tropes are familiar (see what I did?). In fact it’s sort of a John Hughes vampire novel, and clearly set up to be the first in a series. Full disclosure, I’m a fan of neither genre, but I know exactly which young readers I’ll recommend it to.
