Six Stories
by Matt Wesolowski
Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski follows the podcast of Scott King as he hones in on the Scarclaw Fall tragedy; told through six different perspectives and a completely original narrative style, Wesolowski brilliantly sucks the reader in and makes them EXPERIENCE the story.
To start, I’d like to talk about the amazing cover of this book. I don’t usually comment on cover art, however, this one I cannot deny. The play on the forest, the lake with reflection and the frequency image is just suburb. This cover truly captures the novel in a nutshell.
This is not your typical crime story; there is no law enforcement leading an investigation nor is there a lawyer on the trail to save their client.
Instead, Wesolowski presents a story told through interviews and past recollections. This one felt like I was on some sort of media binge, you know the kind where you get lost in a vortex of researching an unsolved crime or some strange trivia urban legend. Throughout my reading, it reminded me of a true crime documentary that I would obsess over on Netflix (think, Making A Murderer). Everything felt so real. It wrapped me up and held on tightly; I felt anxious. I felt worried. I couldn’t help but be consumed by the ominous text.
Truly, I think the only way this book could become more brilliant would be to experience it as an audiobook; it would truly blur the lines between reality and fiction.
You want to get lost in a book? Wesolowski makes it easy.
4/5 stars.
