![]() ![]() I appreciated that Robertson didn’t shy away from difficult and uncomfortable topics. VN offers a rich variety of diverse characters, each with different upbringings and dysfunctional family lives. Just be sure to take a break and get a glass of water or something. You could likely read this in one or two sittings like I did, but your eyeballs will fall out of your face. The book never feels slow and you want to continue reading. The second half of the book picks up in terms of pace with a lot of bloody action, though action and high-stakes situations are consistent throughout. I appreciated that Robertson took his time world-building with some very necessary and often comical exposition. ![]() The first half of the book introduces the characters and their world as they prepare for the shitstorm coming in the second half of the book (there’s a great Bruce Campbell-as-Ash montage of the characters preparing a weapon to fight the demon). You can almost picture those faded, worn “cigarette burns” in the film reel as scenes intercut and transition. ![]() Language such as “Pull back from to…” and “Jump-cut inside a bedroom” is abundant throughout. ![]() I like the consistent reminder that this could be a movie we’re watching. Robertson’s descriptive style makes you feel like you’re right there in the movie – err, pages. ![]()
