When Nate's father passes, after a childhood of abuse, he's happy to see him go. He leaves behind a big house in the countryside, that's the perfect place for Nate and his family to escape the noise of the city. But it's not long before strange things start happening.
I LOVE THIS BOOK. CHUCK WENDIG IS AMAZING. I JUST WANT TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND. I finished The Book of Accidents this morning and immediately needed to review it and force it upon everyone๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
This book is wild, like a wonderful, gory, hellscape of a novel. It's as if Blake Crouch, and the best of Stephen King had a book baby. Like The Shining and Dark Matter ended up fornicating, somehow creating something even better.
I read Wanderers a few years ago now, which is a whopping 800 pages, and it's been on my favourite books of all time since then. The Book of Accidents sits a little over 500 pages but like with Wanderers, it doesn't drag. The book is full throttle from the very first page. Chuck does this thing where he gives you loads of information straight away, that doesn't make any sense, and he's just like 'Here, deal with all of this in your brain box'. I love how he weaves even the tiniest details back into the story, everything has meaning, he truly is a skilled writer. I really loved the Wanderers easter eggs dotted throughout aswell, and found myself gasping everytime I found one๐คฃ
This book is just something else, and if you love absolutely bonkers sci-fi/horror then I couldn't recommend it enough. It really reminded me of books like Middlegame and The Library of Mount Char, another two of my favourites. I'll leave you all with another line from the book that I really enjoyed, because there was a lot of them.
