Originally, it was the title of this one that drew me to pull it off the library shelf. The cover convinced me to flip over and read the back. I'm so glad I did because I enjoyed this one. At first, I wasn't sure about it, but I decided to tough it out, and I'm glad I did. Because the last two-thirds of this was really good. I like the main group; it's set up like an adult Scooby-Doo. I liked the creature they picked for which was off the beaten path with the Hopsville creature-esque look. Also, one point for the end of the book because the artwork for that was killer, and what hooked me to borrow volume 2!
I don't think I can explain how fast I got off Instagram to put this book on my Kindle. Grady Hendrix has become one of my favorite authors in horror. This book shows a hundred percent why. It was so creepy and told a complete story in just 36 pages. Somehow Hendrix wove a story so complete that I didn't need more after I finished the book. It absolutely broke my heart and creeped me out at the same time. Yet I wasn't left feeling like something was missing. Just that I just need to read something happy. Because that was a heavy 36 pages. I even like that we didn't fully understand the Blanks. Just like we never fully got to see what exactly they had done, only that it was horrible and there was no escaping it. I liked the not knowing in this case; it seemed to add to the anxiety the entire time. Would I read more about these creators? Yes, I would trip over my feet to do that. Do we need more? No, no one is emotionally ready for that.
HAPPY READING!!
