This cover is the first thing that caught my eye with it's They Live vibes. Then I read the synopsis and I was all in. Who hasn't wanted to order that thing at the back of comics, or from the Scholastic pamphlet in Elementary School? Add on a small monkey's paw concept, and that's the story. This was a lot of fun, while still smacking me a little bit in the feelings. I enjoyed this, and the way that it was told. Another win for my Insta FYP because until I stumbled across this on there, I'd never heard of this. Which is a shame because it's really good.
Joe Hill, oh Joe Hill, why do you do this to me. I thought this would be just a quick, creepy, little read. Something to get me going on my last shift before my weekend. I should have known better though, I really should have. Because every single time he gets me, and the last line of this book, you have to be kidding me. This was really good and I adored the Ushers, even if I don't know exactly what they were. Angels. Reapers. Demons. What I loved about all of this was I wanted more pages, more lore on these things. How many people did he try to save before he realized the consequence of saving people from the Ushers? But also, I loved how short it was. We understood why Martin couldn't get on the train, and this is a full story that leaves you satisfied, but also that last line man. That last line! Ugh, it's so good!
HAPPY READING!!
