A beautiful story

Revisado: 12-25-24

I’m an avid horror reader, but every now and then one of my fav authors will remind me how important it is to wander outside of that genre. McCammon wrote something truly memorable with this story, and as I listened to it on Christmas Day, it really hit the spot.

Some familiar territory

Revisado: 12-24-24

And yet I found the story to be engaging and entertaining. Will be listening to more from Malfi.

A powerful, worthy follow up to Wanderers

Revisado: 12-18-24

I had enjoyed a few books by Wendig prior to starting into the Wanderers/Wayward world, but this was truly an incredible story with an amazing cast or characters. Bravo, Chuck. What an epic journey.

A glorious epic by Wendig

Revisado: 11-21-24

While there were a number of times during this novel that I thought to myself, “This reminds me of this other novel/video game/tv show, etc.”, I still felt Wendig did a masterful job of not only making those elements his own, but at giving a self aware, sometimes entirely transparent nod to those influences. Despite its length, I finished this one pretty quickly. Kudos to the narrators for their excellent work.

Not really my thing

Revisado: 11-08-24

I thought this was good for what it is, but what it is just isn’t for me. Explicit and graphic violence. A whole lot of r@pe and SA. There WAS a supernatural angle that was barely explored and I would’ve enjoyed a great deal more of that. Didn’t hate it, but not a fan of the genre so this may be a hit for folks who lean toward this variety of horror.

A (pre?) Apocalypse Capitalist Hellscape

Revisado: 11-03-24

Langan does great work. While this wasn’t my favorite of her novels, it was intriguing enough to keep me interested.

An incredibly engaging story

Revisado: 10-02-24

From the first pages I was entirely hooked. And that ending… I never saw it coming. Mysteries abound from start to finish. Will absolutely be checking out the rest of Van Wey’s work.

A genuinely unique sort of nightmare

Revisado: 08-24-24

A close friend and fellow Constant Reader had recommended Wendig to me earlier this year. I started with Book of Accidents. While I found BOA to be somewhat familiar, perhaps even a bit derivative of a handful of Stephen King stories, i did genuinely enjoy it. That being said, I found BRO to be decisively different and a deeply enjoyable story that set itself apart from King, and from other notable genre authors. I am very excited to read further, and to see what other stories Wendig has to tell.

A good place to start

Revisado: 08-10-24

I was curious about the author, and felt this would be as good a place to start as any, in order to see if her work vibed with me. Suffice to say it was worthwhile, and I will be checking out the rest of Marceau’s work.

A bleak and harrowing commentary

Revisado: 08-05-24

Langan stuns with this brooding story of paranoia, classism, and familial trauma, but that’s just scratching the surface of everything this story has to offer. I didn’t know what to expect when I went into this novel, and had given it a shot based solely on the recommendation of a fellow reader. I was blown away. I will most definitely be seeking out and taking in all that Langan has to offer.
