A review by aksel_dadswell
They're Watching by Bob Pastorella, Michael David Wilson
4.0
A pulpy, fast-paced little novel that feels lived-in and tactile. The characters aren't just cleanly moving through the world but interacting with it, and getting their bodily fluids all over the place. There are music and film references, characters eat and shit and kill. Everything that happens feels solid and real in a way that lends authenticity to the narrative and makes you care about people you may not really like.
The authors fit a lot into the book's short runtime and it feels like a love-letter to giallo horror - I think I would have preferred a meatier ending but this was an engaging and fun and quite often gross story with enough twists and enough snark to make it a fast read that swallowed up my time with it.
