nilchance 's review for:
The Pilo Family Circus
by Katherine Dunn, Will Elliott
The description of the book on goodreads says this book has "echoes of Lovecraft, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and early Stephen King."
So yeah, I don't know why I read it, because I don't like any of those authors but King. (And I'm not hugely fond of King's early stuff.) I would add that the book has shades of David Wong's John Dies at the End, but it's missing the compassion and the emotional pull.
I didn't really care about Jamie or any of the characters. I was appalled at the casual racism. I wasn't horrified at any point, just squicked.
