Urban Gothic by Brian Keene
1.0
My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:
0.5 out of 5.0 stars
The very worst thing about this book is that it is everything. First, it was misshelved in the store – not the books fault, I know, but I would never have bought it if I had known it was a horror book. Second, it’s a horror book and it’s far too graphic for me to sleep soundly after having read it. Third, was it really necessary to describe a deformed giant’s penis in such horrific detail?
The very best thing about this book is the writing, honestly. In almost any other genre of book, I would have been ecstatic to find such detail! Also, this book is no longer in my house (let alone the country) as I shipped it off to the United Kingdom thanks to BookMooch – the best book trading site in the world!!
