American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett
4.0

COSMIC HORRORS IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK

Feat: dimension hopping eldritch beings taking over a quaint New Mexico town. a teenage waitress who's also the devil's bride. cosmic-scale mummy issues. mad science. annoying man with a big phallic gun gets what's coming to him. elderly neighbourhood gossip lady is surprisingly resilient. hard-living woman approaching middle age covered in blood that's not hers (HOT). a whole lot of blood, in general. tentacles. hopeful endings. some gore. a good time all around.

4.5 stars. Do NOT go for the audiobook, it doesn't do the book justice.
