Everything the Darkness Eats
by Eric LaRocca
When I read [b:Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke|57876868|Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke|Eric LaRocca|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1634173415l/57876868._SY75_.jpg|90668643][b:Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke|57876868|Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke|Eric LaRocca|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1634173415l/57876868._SY75_.jpg|90668643], I thought that maybe I would like Eric LaRocca's work more if it was in the long form. This was not the case. There where two big things I didn't like:
1. Obvious naming. Obviously, the magician named Crowley isn't a great dude. The first time we meet him he blows up people's heads. When he said 'hey, we gotta do a month long ritual', I thought he would wander off in the middle of it.
2. What do we get out of this? There are a lot of interesting little things and potential themes, but it falls short. The story gets wrapped up with a Deus Ex Machina. Nothing matters.
