Gone to See the River Man
by Kristopher Triana
Gone to See the River Man is a sick book but in a slow and disturbing way. It’s a raw and unflinching novel about a woman who will basically go to ANY lengths in order to get what she wants- even if that means hurting those who will get in her way. It takes a while to see this happen (basically until you hit the fifty percent mark) but once it happens you are thrust into a vortex of horrible things that will make you shudder. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting the book to take the turn it did and while I found it to be unique for a horror novel, I didn’t find it to be one of the best I ever read. I guess I was hoping to feel something more but because it’s such a short book the characterization was limited. I also hated some of the characters (I can’t say who without spoiling it) and was happy to see what happened to her in the end. It was fitting and probably the only time I had a smile on my face while reading this.
If you enjoy twisted characters, those who will stop at nothing to get what they want (it’s written very slyly here) with stomach churning content then this is a good book for you. It’s not a slasher or haunted house horror novel but it’s psychological and creepy in its own right.
