Welcome back to another Weird Wednesday. But, for the next few months, it’s a different kind of weird. Since I’ve made a personal goal to read all 32 books that made it into this year’s Books of Horror Indie Brawl, I am going to be posting my reviews of each book until I have finished them all!
Today's review is for These Things Linger by Dan Franklin.
"When Alex Wilson's estranged uncle unexpectedly dies, Alex realizes he would do just about anything to make peace with the man who had raised him as his own.He'd even reach out to the dead.But things more dangerous than ghosts haunt his uncle's broken down trailer and the nearly abandoned one-gas-station town of Fair Hill just beyond. Things that can devour the living and the dead alike, and are all too ready to answer his call.Some parts of our past never really leave us. There are things that don't know how to die.These things linger.Dan Franklin's supernatural thriller novel These Things Linger is a twisting and unforgiving tale of desperation, depression, heritage, and of other hungry, vicious things."
Last year I read Dan Franklin's The Eater of Gods, and it became one of my favourite reads of the year. I was very excited to dive into this one and although I still love TEG the most, this one was another fantastic read!
From the beginning I was drawn in with the characters and the ritual they preform. Although it seems not to have worked, I had my doubts. Especially with a title like "These Things Linger," I wasn't going to belive it hadn't dont something. Was I prepared for what came next, or for how the story unfolded? No, no I was not!
Following the main character as things turned from bad to dire had me gripped hard. I won't put any spoilers, so, suffice it to say, it's worth reading right until the end!
I loved Dan's descriptions of the ghost and how they interacted with the world of the living. I loved all the rituals and the twists and turns. I will always pick up something written by this author, he is a must read for me now!
