0ivy0 's review for:
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth
by Andrew Joseph White
DNF at page 204
This book is perfect in theory, I just couldn't vibe with it.
I love the set up of this but didn't like where it ended up going. It had turned into a mystery, rather than a horror, and I just wasn't invested.
My biggest issue was the writing, this is written in modern American English, despite being set in 1800 Britain. Modern Americanisms such as 'sidewalk', 'pants' (instead of trousers), 'quit it', 'what is she on about' and 'it's not like x right?' really took me out of the book. This mean that I couldn't become invested as I kept being reminded that it wasn't real.
Also, more body horror / gore please, I liked what we had, but we didn't have enough yet.
I love Silas and Daphne (or what they could be) though.
