Sometimes I don't care that hardly anyone reads books anymore. Other times it baffles and angers me that when a good movie or TV show comes out the whole world knows about it and watches it, yet when a masterful, life-altering book is released barely a peep is made unless you know where to look. No Gods, No Monsters is the kind of book that makes me wish reading was mainstream, mostly so that I had people to talk to about it.
I only heard of this book because it was in my Slingshot planner's list of books to read in 2024, and it being there was worth the price of the planner. Caldwell Turnbull is a writer to the fullest extent of the word. There are multiple stories in NGNM, taking place in different parts of the world, and different universes altogether. Just when I started thinking that I wasn't going to be able to follow them all, they seamlessly fell into place to tell a scary, philosophical, intricate tale of monsters, secret societies, magick, anarchy, polyamory, physics, and too many other topics to count.
This book is part of the Convergence Sage, the second of which is now on my to-buy list. Turnbull has also written a previous book, The Lesson, which I obviously have to check out as well. If you're looking to go on a fun adventure, I highly recommend you follow me on this journey.
