A review by janinepipe
Captain Clive's Dreamworld by Jon Bassoff
4.0
So. I am a huge WDW. Like HUGE. So what on earth was I going to make of a book that basically took my beloved Happiest Place on Earth and turned it into something akin to Twin Peakes?
Well ...
Luckily, I was able to detract from the obvious dig at Disney by Jon's excellent writing and story telling.
This isn't a book for the faint of heart. There are some VERY disturbing scenes but I guess if you read horror, you expect horrific things to happen.
And I don't mind disturbing content. I write twisted stuff myself.
I can't stand reviews that say Oh I wasn't expecting that to happen, it was awful, when you clearly know dark stuff will happen because it is DARK FICTION!
DO NOT give something a low review because you're an idiot and didn't expect to be horrified by reading horror.
I'll get off my soap-box ...
The characters in this are all just vile but that doesn't mean that they're not interesting. There are basically no redeeming qualities for any of them but you are still entertained by their antics even though they make you want to scream.
I enjoyed it very much.
I would definitely read more of Jon's work.
