Hinton Hollow Death Trip by Will Carver
5.0
Nothing could have prepared me for reading this and to be honest I’m so naughty that telling me not to read this, like it does in the opening sentence, just made me want to read it even more. Being a naughty girl, you would think after reading this, would make me a target for evil too. But secretly I’m a good girl really, I just love a dark read and the darker the better and fuck me was this dark.
I felt morally judged, dirty and that I am carrying the burden of the sins of all humanity. Hell I eat a liquid diet through a peg and I still felt bad for all the bacon sandwiches I’ve consumed in the past. So if you are thinking of reading this which I wholeheartedly recommend you do as it’s bloody brilliant, don’t do it while eating a bacon sarnie. Like me you have been warned.
The use of evil as narrator was utter genius, though worryingly I did find myself quite endeared to him. I actually agreed with nearly everything he thought. Not sure why I’m assigning a gender to evil but maybe it’s because as I read I pictured it that way in my mind with the voice of Jeremy Irons too.
Some shining lights to come from reading this book of atrocity was that I have come to the conclusion that evil would probably leave me alone and that I have another author to add to my must read file.
Thoroughly original, thought provoking and I’m going to stick my neck out and say probably my book of the year.
