If this guy wants more than 3 stars they better stick the landing crazy style. It could be great, but his writing just is not it to me. His writing style just tends to be a bit boring I fear
Maybe he’d be good at something other than horror, or maybe Shirley Jackson just set my bar too high

These are the most nothing burger characters smh and, gang, I hate it when I man tries to write a pregnant woman/woman with young kids when he clearly hasn’t thought about what the entails for more than 10 minutes in his life. Like, no one thinks like that???? And also you stripped her of all personality other than mother. It’s giving Guillermo Del Toro’s women in Frankenstein, I fear. But somehow worse

What if we just told you in a paragraph what cosmic horror is instead of letting you experience it. Gang. I didn’t like the last Josh Malerman book I read so idk why I’m hoping this one is different
