The Broken Room by Peter Clines
3.0
I'm not sure why the Author's Notes are speaking to me these days, but I really enjoyed Clines' description on how this book happened. Not only is this is good story, but I find it valuable to learn how the good story happened.
Cline is doing a yeoman's job of bringing "weird literature" into the mainstream spotlight. This book features a unique perspective on dealing with some eldritch horrors that doesn't require a deep dive into the works of Lovecraft to understand. With a few simple lines of dialogue, Clines' characters give the reader a full understanding of their neverending horrible battle. Then, they get right to the action.
While Hector and Natalie make a wonderful pair to anchor the story, I cast my vote for Clines to create an entire series around Quilt -- a.k.a. the Patchwork Man. There's a lot of potential to mine there.
