"A nameless angel has been out of God's favor since things went wrong with his last mission, 2,000 years ago. He has spent the intervening millennia watching the humanity he so loves fall into moral disrepair. Lately, he's been watching Will, a businessman attempting to expose his company's dark dealings to the press. Will's campaign is not going well. In a moment of weakness and bravado, the angel decides to take over Will--"jumping in" as he did over two millennia ago. What follows is a mortal struggle between good and evil, as cosmic forces fight to maintain the status quo. As Will begins to lose his grip on himself and his mission, the reader is forced to question whose reckoning this is: Are these the delusions of a man crushed by the hypocrisies of modern society? Or the actions of an angel desperate to right our wrongs? Powerfully written, fast paced, and perfect for fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Joe Hill, and Bret Easton Ellis, What I Tell You in the Dark is an unsettling story of omnipotence, mayhem, capitalism, and corruption--a violet struggle between intentions and their consequences played out on a grand scale"--… (mehr)

From the point of view of an ambitious, if stumbling, angel, this is one of those books you'll want to sink into, consider, re-read, and pass on to other readers. Samuel's lyrical writing is so full of both heart and humor that the work is nearly impossible to put down. If there's a fault, it's that the telling and the voice are so hypnotic, and at times so poetic, that it's easy to slip along and be so swept up in many moments that the larger picture can be temporarily lost. But then, re-wandering through this angel's voice is sort of a game in itself, and a rather wonderful one.

All told, I rather fell in love with this book, and I can't wait to re-read it, and to see what Samuel comes up with next. Readers who want a bit of the supernatural or the wayward angelic in their literary fiction... find this book.

I adored it, start to finish. ( )
