On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

Totally surprised by the depth this book had!
Revisado: 03-04-22
Without giving away the entire plot, the premise revolves around "Sasquatches, aka Foresters," being real, and also being as intelligent as people. They've hidden in the shadows for centuries, developing their own culture parallel to ours, and interacting sparsely in rural areas.
The two main characters are Rue (son of a police chief, and Air Force operator) and Buford (Forester/sasquatch) who befriend one another when both are just teens. Rue's world is flipped upside down when he finds out his dad was connected to the Forester community, and that he was eventually going to be introduced to them.
From there, the story fills in the history of the two races, as well as moves forward, unfolding the consequences of ancient choices, prejudice, and prophecy.
I really, really liked this book. It's serious when it needs to be, funny at the right times, and balances a massive cast in a story of far larger scope than you think it has.
I think if y'all are looking for a funny, smart book that manages to combine alternate history, cryptids, supernatural evil, and even an impending apocalypse, this is a fantastic choice.

Money's tight and their new home is a fixer-upper. Deep in rural South West England, with an ancient wood at the foot of the garden, Tom and his family are miles from anywhere and anyone familiar. His wife, Fiona, was never convinced that buying the money-pit at auction was a good idea. Not least because the previous owner committed suicide. Though no one can explain why.

loved it.
Revisado: 12-10-21
Nevill has a fantastic talent for taking the ancient world, the things that we have forgotten about, and bringing them backup to the surface. He has an excellent talent for having his characters come unraveled at things that would pull a person's threads apart.
Great book.

While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they - like you - would be better off not knowing.

This is such a unique and fun series. It's like Lovecraft on crystal meth.

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.
