A Cosmology of Monsters by Shaun Hamill

dark medium-paced

4.0

Very meandering and not what I expected based on the synopsis. The synopsis had me expecting the horror attraction and monster aspect to be a more central focus of the story. Really, the focus was more on this family and Noah's perspective, specifically. Though the monster is a big part of Noah's life. That said, I think the synopsis did what it could without spoiling the story. Also, why the constant pop culture references! That is a personal pet peeve, and so I try not to judge too harshly. There were even some points where I thought it worked well for the story and was a clever nod for those who get it. Still, even knowing my personal grievance, I felt it was a little over the top. That said, the story really comes together in the end, which I found enjoyable if not mind-blowing. My favorite parts were the Turner sequences. Loved that aspect.
