Unbury Carol
by Josh Malerman
After reading the first couple of chapter of Unbury Carol I knew I would love it; I wasn't wrong, the fact I have a signed copy is just icing on the cake.
Unbury Carol is hilarious, I'm not sure if that was the intention behind the writing of it, considering the premise of the book is about a lady being burried alive by her husband while she is in a coma in order for him to steal her fortune- but it is.
The characters are a hoddgepodge group of heros and villians (who being what, depending soley on which character is doing the talking), made me laugh out loud in some parts and grip the edge of my seat in others, as their stories weaved in and out of each other's within this Western setting.
So the storyline??? Carol's best friend, the lovely John, who is the life of every party, died, the stress of his death, being what may or may not have triggered Carol's unfortunate condition of slipping into a death like coma, a coma that generally no Doctor can distingush the fact Carol is actually alive, during. The husband, Dwight, tired of living in the shadow of his lovely and rich wife, realises there is only one option, that is to say, exploit this coma and bury his wife alive, sooner rather than later, with the help of the very bad ass Lafayette, a women who, under no circumstances would you cross. Bury her alive you see, because he's not monsterous (or foolish) enough to leave marks of foul play on her body, yes, this is the better option.
Unfortunately for Dwight, Farrah (Carol's handmaiden), suspects Dwight of foul play, and contacts the outlaw James Moxie, (props to the author, loving the name choice here) our loveable outlaw with as many magic tricks as baggae of the emotional kind, in order to let him know.
So the question is, can James save the love of his life, or will she be burried alive if she doesn't save her own damn self, cause seriously, with a husband burying you, can you really rely on the outlaw?
Fast-paced, action packed, utterly thrilling and honestly funny. Five Stars, would totally recommend.
