A review by thatbookstoreguy
Ordinary Horror by David Searcy

3.0

Atmospheric and well written, this literary American Gothic novel starts off strong with a constant sense of dread. The writing is full of tension, but as the story moves along, you soon realize that the plot is somewhat meandering and the payoff leaves a ridiculous amount to be desired. Much respect to the author though for making seemingly inconsequential suburban life so quietly terrifying.
