Awe of Dan Simmons, Part II

At the recommendation of knowledgeable commenter DMC, I am giving Summer of Night a try. Apparently, it forms a sort of trilogy with Children of the Night, which I did not care for, and A Winter Haunting. I've actually owned the book for a while but haven't ever gotten around to reading it. Children turned me off a little, I'll admit, but I'm going to give Summer a try. We'll see how it compares.
