Grave-robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's true that Leonardo da Vinci did it, Shakespeare wrote about it, and the resurrection men of 19th-century Scotland practically made it an art. But none of this matters to Joey Crouch, a 16-year-old straight-A student living in Chicago with his single mom. For the most part, Joey's life is about playing the trumpet and avoiding the daily humiliations of high school. Everything changes when Joey's mother dies in a tragic accident and he is sent to rural Iowa to live with the father he has never known....

the strangest coming of age story
Revisado: 04-18-25
Gripping, wholesome, macabre. I went in expecting something a bit gory and got a lesson in history and family dynamics.

Lifestyle journalist Katrine escaped past traumas by moving to a coast renowned for seaside holidays and natural beauty. But when a vast hoard of human remains and prehistoric artifacts is discovered in nearby Brickburgh, a hideous shadow engulfs her life. Helene, a disillusioned lone parent, lost her brother, Lincoln, six years ago. Disturbing subterranean noises he recorded prior to vanishing, draw her to Brickburgh's caves. A site where early humans butchered each other across 60,000 years. Upon the walls, images of their nameless gods remain.

I don't know why they used an american narrator for a british novel.

The story creeps. When I finally reached the edge of my seat, the book continues to overdose descriptions and completely loses the precipice I was at. Folklore was conceptually interesting, but ultimately this ended on my DNF.
Bonus for "Men Writing Women" and bland female protagonists, their only salient traits being one is a mother and the other can't have kids.

visceral, horrifying, and also so flat
Revisado: 06-27-23
I spent an entire day listening to this, and the first 3-4 chapters I was nauseated by the descriptions and the initial world building.
And then it falls flat.
Nick and Jess's relationship holds no water past their suicide, he's on a one man mission to find her but his hero's quest is almost always too "Gary Stu" as his flaws aren't really maintained (forgiven a lot, or he just murders everyone) and every challenge seems to go over very easily for him, besides the first "pig-born" incident (that was still visceral). The Black Farm is conceptually so interesting at the beginning, but then it's like licking a hamburger wrapper instead of eating the burger. We're often just thrown into new locations and subplots because, when you die there, the shenanigans begin anew. What about the pig born hybrids, what about the cult, the farm house, the Pig's Temple, the abandoned town, how did that guy make a gun, what about the Suicidal's Guerilla warfare. Introduced, never really explained. Very So It Goes.
I had high hopes, mostly just some horror porn to take up some time.
