The Book of Kindly Deaths by Eldritch Black
5.0
I absolutely love the concept behind this book! It reminds me of one of the first horror movies I ever saw, I, Madman, which has the idea that the books we read may become real and that things would maybe not be as awesome as we may expect. (In the Mouth of Madness is similar.)
But this is not quite the same thing. This is a middlegrade novel and while parts are certainly creepy, it's appropriate for anyone who enjoys Goosebumps (and I find this much more fun and better written).
I devoured this book, and felt for Eliza. She's completely unprepared for the events that are starting to happen to and around her, but she rallies to the occasion. She's the kind of heroine I want my niece and goddaughters to read about, the kind of smart, resourceful girl who can be trusted to take care of things on her own.
I love this book and can't wait to see what Eldritch Black does next.
Highly recommended.
