A Black and Endless Sky by Matthew Lyons
4.0
Depressed and newly divorced, a man prepares to leave San Francisco and go home to Albuquerque to lick his wounds in his childhood home. Stupidly Jonah has arranged to do this as a roadtrip with his erratic sister, Nell. They get into a barfight along the way, and all hell breaks loose.
It took some time for this book to grow on me. I was irritated at first with page after page of repetitive dialogue. Then I got sucked in to the point where I stayed up late reading, nodding off but not ready to stop. There is some truly excellent writing towards the end, and I appreciated how flawed all the characters were. Recommended for fans of cosmic horror in particular.
