td3 's review for:
Unbury Carol
by Josh Malerman
I believe this is the first western horror story I have ever read and it was quite an entertaining experience. With a bit of romance, dark humor and a touch of the psychological thriller, Josh Malerman has given readers an engrossing second novel.
What got my attention about the story was the concept of being buried alive. I remember watching The Alfred Hitchcock Hour as a child and on one episode a man in prison planned his escape via casket. Unfortunately, things did not end well for him.
Luckily, Unbury Carol was not quite so dark--at least not at the crucial moment. The story did have some horrifying events, but I thought the tone had more of a dark humor feel.
Full of wonderful characters, supernatural beings and adventures on the western trail, this will make a great reading choice for any reader loving mystery, horror, westerns or just quirky mixed genres. There are some violent acts committed in the book and there is one sinister character named Smoke, who is a force of evil to be reckoned with.
