bamugo 's review for:

American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett

3.0

---

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half or two-thirds of this book. They'd get a 4- or 5-star rating. But somewhere around that point, it switched genres from horror to fantasy, and the author stopped respecting the reader (things that should have remained unstated for the reader to mull over themselves are stated outright, etc.). Knowing that RJB switched to fully writing fantasy after this book now makes a lot of sense.
