Everything the Darkness Eats by Eric LaRocca
4.0
eric larocca's "everything the darkness eats" takes you through a horrific tale with interwoven perspectives that all reside in a small connecticut after a series of individuals mysteriously disappear. if you're wanting to get into larocca's works but don't want to start with anything super intense, i would dip my toe into ETDE. the first larocca book i read was "things have gotten worse since we last spoke", which you can imagine was a jarring start to my extreme horror journey lol!! most certainly check trigger warnings before reading–it does tackle some heavy and potentially upsetting content. i will provide a list of ones i caught below.
the only portion of the book i didn't like was ghost very frequently voicing his hatred for God. i understand it is relevant to the theme of the book and his character though. all in all, "everything the darkness eats" is a riveting and entertaining read that will keep you guessing throughout every chapter.
trigger warnings:
- homophobia
- hate crimes revolting homosexuality
- death of a spouse
- suicidal ideation
- blasphemy
