Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  ChrisMcCaffrey | Apr 6, 2021 |   This novella was a crazy trip and I like crazy trips. Setting: Earth. Subject: New Gods roaming said earth. Very Brief & Simplified Plot Summary: New Gods killing thousands of people at a shot, all the time, all over the world and what can be done about it? Escape: None? That sums up the story, as I don't like to go into the plot too much in my reviews. This was a crazy mix of Lovecraftian horror, mystery, family, love, death, zombies, worms, and fear. Most importantly fear. When fear is used to govern, the results can be unpredictable. This was a compelling read. Mr. Walker paints a clear picture of life in this new world, and let me tell you, this new world is UGLY. The human characters are realistic and interesting, but I think the real stars of this show are the setting and the Gods. As the reader acclimates him or herself to this new world order, they cannot help but feel repulsed while at the same time excited to see what happens next. This story showed a lot of imagination and creativity on the author's part and I loved it. The only reason this wasn't a five star read for me is the fact that I would have liked to have known more about how the Gods initially took over. Other than that very small detail, I highly recommend this novella to fans of horror and dark fiction. Clear some space on your calender though, because chances are good that you will want to finish this story in one sitting.

In a world controlled by three monstrous gods ready to destroy everything at any point they choose, Dave Anderson knows the only way he can survive is to do the same as everybody else ¿ keep his head down, question nothing and hope he doesn't end up sacrificed to the gods. That's his plan until he discovers his teenage daughter is risking her life in an attempt to rid the world of its rulers. Terrified of losing his daughter, Dave joins her boyfriend in a frantic search while trying to avoid the authorities eager to offer him to their dark lords. The men must fight their way through a country governed by fear towards a derelict manor where a weapon for change and hope awaits. Here, a long-dead writer has left clues pointing to an object that might free the world of its terrible masters...or lead to something far worse¿ Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Certainly true in this most gigantic of monster romps---where the monsters are world destroying gods, each devastating and horrific in their own way. Usually in this sort of story mankind bonds together to fight the common threat and often emerges victorious a la Well’s War of the Worlds. However this modern and more cynical version shows mankind’s nature in siding with the strong against the weak, perhaps reflecting our current divisive political/social environment, or not. Good horror and sci-fi novels and movies often provide social and political commentary commentary. Whether the subtext is there or not, I found this novella on its surface to be a compelling horror apocalyptic tale with a chilling ending that I did not expect. And it is perhaps more.
