Unbury Carol
by Josh Malerman
4.5 stars
I really liked this one. This is only the second book I've read by Josh Malerman, but it has solidified my respect and appreciation for what he does. His books aren't what you would call fast-paced, and they're not gory or terrifying. But they are creeeeepy and excruciatingly beautiful. I don't want to push through his books, I want to linger.
The characters are a mixed bag of humanity. Between good intentions and nefarious schemes, you really never know what you're going to get. The villains, of which there are many, swing from slimy to rotten, offering up a whole smorgasbord of evil. Every reader will be able to find one they love to hate.
And the heroes? Even though they never seem to have the full picture, they still manage to wiggle their way through. It's almost like... magic...
