I don't really know what to say about The Book of Accidents. It was unexpected. It was creepy. It was a bit fantastical, but at the root was the evils of man kind.

The twists this book took! I don't feel like I can say anything about them without spoiling it, so I won't. But what I thought I was getting into was definitely not.

Try this if you miss old-school Stephen King vibes.

TW: Domestic and child abuse are central themes in the book, graphic violence, bullying, murder, suicide, alcohol abuse, cults.

WOW. WOW. I saw this book at the library and I just had to bring it with me! And I am glad I did. This wonderful book was more than I expected. I thought it was more in the way of spooky hauntings. Something going bump in the night. But it is more than that. It is dimensions, alternate versions of yourself, timelines, devils and demons, abuse and bad parenting, there is a ton happening and I was just bracing myself for what the author would throw me next.
Sometimes it was just a bit too disgusting for me, I am not that big on gore. Sometimes the abuse parts were too much. But the rest made up for it.
And yes, I got a headache as we neared the end because things are going to collapse, bump, clash.
I loved that we had multiple POVs.
I could talk on and on about this one, but I will keep it to this! Read it! Now! Go!
