Universal Harvester by John Darnielle

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Even better the second time around.  Perfect unsettling / comforting atmosphere. Can’t wait for his new book 👺🏠
