The Unkillable Frank Lightning by Josh Rountree
5.0
Yeehaw! [.. getting to the last page, slamming the book closed, down on the table, and leaping up looking for a drink!]
Having stumbled across the wonderful Charlie Fish, I knew that I would need to follow Rountree. Little did I know that we would be rewarded with yet another spectacular quirky, magical, western tale of oddities. Weird and (such a supreme) mashup of Western, 'horror,' homage to Frankenstein, and (so much) more... The Unkillable Frank paid even higher reward than anticipated.
Rountree is pretty ridiculously amazing in this one again. Lightening in a bottle is his thing., it seems.
The characters couldn't be more interesting. The cast couldn't have been more compelling. Somehow, he has a magic of his own in generating a set, wrought with emotion, deeply layered, and expertly intertwined. Maybe it was the author that lent his magik to Catherine as much as Louisa did. Just artful use of words and description and people coming to life in such wonderful ways throughout his pages. You know it is an outstandingly strong read when the adventure races through the epilogue as well. Great context all the way through.
So appreciative of Edelweiss sharing the ARC here and, while anxiously awaiting all of the stories that come out of Josh Rountree's musings, I'll be telling everyone how much they must read him.
