Edenville: A Novel von Sam Rebelein
Mr. Rubelein is an H. P. Lovecraft want to be but this book hasr a morass of a plot centering on a town which a poorly drawn imitation of Lovecraft's Arkham where many of his tales take place. A young couple are drawn to Edenville in part by job possibilities. Once there a pall of evil enters of their lives and increases with each passing day. The problem for me is there is little consistency and direction to the plot which is somehow linked to the main character's first novel The Shattered Man.
A one-hit-wonder author with writer's block is asked to be the writer-in-residence at Edenville College. Strange things go on in Edenville and many people disappear when they venture near. It doesn't take long for him and his girlfriend to find out they were brought there for nefarious reasons.
This just didn't take with me. The best I can say is that it held my attention enough to finish it. The humour was not funny and the horror was eye-rollingly silly. I couldn't believe the story didn't nor like the style of writing.… (mehr)

Alright so this one claimed to explore urban legends and the way ambition can overshadow instincts. It definitely delivered on the latter half of that statement. I was super pumped for this one because the book started out with all the creep and ick factor. However, it took way to long to explain the relevance of those things and it lost me along the way. I spent a lot of time hating Cam, which I think was the point. I mean he knows better but he still is so focused on being special that he just doesn’t care. The way he treats Quinn is kind of gross.
Once we got to the creepy thing, it got less creepy and more just weird. It felt very creature feature at times… but not like in a way that made any sense at all. We had objects that caused people to do bad things, people with different abilities and like bug people. I didn’t feel like any of these things were explained very well and I spent a decent portion of this book super confused about what was even happening. I think if we had picked one “baddie” it would have been much better. The book had so many moving parts that didn’t seem to connect but then were attempted to be connected. Maybe the book was just too meta for me I honestly don’t know. I think it’s well written and I’m sure it’s for somebody but I really struggled to stay invested. I’m honestly still confused by most of the book.… (mehr)
