Malignant Summer by Tim Meyer
4.0
Tim Meyer and Silver Shamrock are back at it again, this time to bring you a sprawling epic. This books is gargantuan, by far the longest book I’ve read this year.
Malignant summer is a damn good read. There’s a large cast of characters in this coming of age title, and all of the main players are fleshed out nicely. As always with a Tim Meyer story, there is more than meets the eye to the tale, and Tim takes the span of the book to unearth all of the towns secrets. There is a lot of death and decay here, and Tim brings the scares in spades.
Personally, I find longer books such as this one to be tough sells to myself, they tend to lose me. There were parts on this that I felt maybe weren’t necessary, but that could be entirely because of my affinity for shorter reads. The fact that I finished a book this length, and thoroughly enjoyed it speaks to the strength of Tim as a writer.
If you’re a fan of coming of age, epic horror books, or of Tim Meyer you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. Just make sure you reinforce your coffee table before placing this badboy on it.
