Our take on the The Dark Won't Wait (Paperback)

The Dark Won't Wait is a young adult psychological thriller by David A Poulsen. Dom, a teen whose world is cars and baseball, lands a major role in a high school production of a thriller, then finds real life echoing the script as an elusive girl and a local murder pull him out of his shell. It leans on Frederick Knott's play Wait Until Dark for atmosphere while mixing in teen humor. It suits readers who want suspense with a light, contemporary voice rather than grim realism.
