This is a work of art. The Book of Accidents is a blend of so many different types of horror mixed with some interesting scifi elements.
It's reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining and Dark Tower series, Stephen Chbosky's Imaginary Friend, and Nick Cutter's The Troop.
If you love cosmic horror and different dimensions in your horror, this is 100% for you.
I loved that we got so many POVs from different characters, and the fantastical elements really played well in this story. Chuck Wendig really took his time developing this story and setting up the plot and it really paid off. The ending was a tad bit all over the place for me, but overall I really enjoyed this. It was well done and deliciously creepy.
