I love a good villain character, and the split lives work really well since he can be a bad guy online and a normal respectful kid IRL, which keeps this from becoming a real edge lord story. I never really got used to the choice of having Hank from King of the hill as the..
Really solid, I like the multi perspective stories like WWZ and this is a damn good example. It kinda leans into the cyberpunk aspect at parts pretty hard if that’s your thing. I’m personally not a fan of moody teens in all capacities and in the Carthage perspective there’s a noticeable amount of “angst”. Tho..
Review from The Narrows →
Malfi is likely the best horror writer we have right now. He deserves better than this reader who sounds like a dad who really does not want to do bedtime stories. Easily the worst reader I’ve experienced. I had to stop this audio version; I guess I’ll go get the physical copy and try to..

Review from The Bleeding Season →
I feel like the author wrote this with one hand. I understand that there is real world untold violence against women in our reality, but this seemed a little exploitative. The story was not all that original either.

One short chapter introducing the monster or elder gods in a short chapter and then followed up by a long single chapter concentrating on it. Really cool intro and well written, modern horror. One (the only) super annoying thing: the chapters..
Getting tired of the tropes. Bullied at school. Bad parental figures. Just happen to be the best at (insert whatever) in the world. And then later the amount of illogical imbalance in a high tech game is astounding. If you stop and think of what 1 player lower level than most is allowed to accomplish,..
The book kept me fairly entertained but definitely could have been half as long. Seems like it took too long to really pick up just to have what seemed like a rushed ending, its paced very strangely. Also the big twist that happens at the end although shocking and horrifying doesn’t really seem to change..
