ummmm…???
so i got to this book by way of booktok. i have been wanting to read something scary, a thriller, a horror book, whatever, and this recommendation ALLEGEDLY fit the bill. i decided to try after i’m thinking of ending things by iain reid was such a boring flop.
dude. it’s bad. sorry mr. coomer, pls stop reading here
the author is a bad author. sorry. he just is. instead of just referring to the FUCKING bottle of bourbon, he repeated “the eighteen-year, the bourbon” a gazillion times. what?? why? we get it. it’s 18 year aged bourbon. also the chant that ~the creepy people~ say is “debts and bad pain.” if you’re going to chant something, at least make it CATCHY. OR MAKE SENSE!!!! BAD PAIN?! are you 5?? what does that even mean? and what are the debts???
there are so many things that made no sense and had zero explanation. and i think maybe? that could’ve been a creative choice because this was written in first person by a man who was very confused…? but it simply didn’t work. it came off as tho the author just simply didn’t want to flesh the story out, doesn’t even know the background in his own head, just wanted to write about blood. it wasn’t even scary because it was so poorly written.
i don’t get it. the book went literally nowhere. i only finished it because it’s so short. i don’t even usually write reviews but this was such a waste of a couple hours i couldn’t not. i guess read it if you want a couple gross descriptions of gore and that’s it. i’m so glad i didn’t spend any money on it
