A review by ineffable_bowtie
A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman

2.0

My first Josh Malerman read. I decided to check out a couple of his books because he was a featured review on the cover of [b:Come with Me|56029579|Come with Me|Ronald Malfi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1606214615l/56029579._SY75_.jpg|87269767] by [a:Ronald Malfi|3512996|Ronald Malfi|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1283295839p2/3512996.jpg]. This was not an awful book, but it was not the horror I was expecting. It was a love story between two 17 year olds who found a house underwater and suddenly become expert divers? I also didn't understand the ending, but that isn't the author's problem. I'm reading [b:Pearl|56749656|Pearl|Josh Malerman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1623664691l/56749656._SY75_.jpg|63300300] next and I hope it is better. Or at least more fitting of the "horror" genre.
