A review by njdarkish
Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon

4.0

It's good. It didn't quite live up to the fervor with which it had been recommended to me-- a variety of horror writers as well as online lists of must-read horror tended to refer to reading it as something of a religious experience-- but it was enjoyable. Probably good to know going in that it doesn't really have a plot other than a murder mystery that pops up occasionally throughout the novel, but is rather a series of vignettes. Also, in spite of it being referred to me as a horror novel, I'd argue it's a coming-of-age novel with a healthy shattering of fantasy and a sprinkle of horror.
