The Bone Key: The Necromantic Mysteries of Kyle Murchison Booth by Sarah Monette

4.0

Setting: extremely cool. Horror: also cool! Not all that terrifying, but interesting premises. But the main character in these short stories is just... sort of difficult to get behind. He is consistently morose and so insecure that it's a little difficult to enjoy the situations he finds himself in. Don't get me wrong - still enjoyable, but I generally prefer to identify with the main character rather than pitying him.
