The Fear: A Pandemic Horror Novel by Spencer Hamilton

4.0

This book is described as a ‘pandemic horror story’. There’s a chance that some wouldn’t want to read this as we are currently still in the midst of our very own pandemic horror story. Me? I was definitely intrigued.

This novel fully captures the panicked, mob mentality of the first few scary months, when no one knew where exactly the world was headed. It also includes the extreme incompetence of our clown ex-commander in chief, as well as the inexcusable racism displayed towards Asian Americans by ignorant people all over America.

It starts off strong, with mental illness being the main villain. The sense of dread and claustrophobia builds with each chapter. The ending took a fantastical turn that left me a little confused, as I did not see it coming. But overall, I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading Kitchen Sink by Spender Hamilton as well.

A strong 4/5 star book ⭐️
