I just finished Unknowing, I sink by Timothy G. Huguenin and here are my thoughts.
Julian gets a summer job so he can buy a car. He gets a job cleaning the mansion of the elusive Mr V, an eccentric man who has a thing for knowledge.
Problem is the man is grotesque in appearance but the pay is good and it comes daily, he will be car ready in no time.
The house is full of cameras and there is nowhere for Julian to go where he cannot be seen. The strange man and the odd conversations have Julian on edge. What horrifying secrets might Julian unwittingly uncover?
This novella blew my mind. I didn’t know what to expect from such a short read but it checked all the boxes. The eccentric Mr V needing his eggs on his belly and barely cooked? CRICKEY!
Really enjoyed the description of the house and the weird conversations they both had. Had me really intrigued all the way through and the ending…. WHOAAAAAA
Did not expect that ending. So well done. Great writing and I was really engaged!
4.5 stars! What a book!
Thank you #netgalley and #timothyghuguenin for my review copy!

Unknowing, I Sink by Timothy G. Huguenin is a horror novella about a young boy who wants to buy a car so he starts working for a reclusive man to back some money over the summer.
I love horror novellas and this was no exception. This grossed me out in the best way and the foreboding atmosphere was perfect. I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone because it is really strange but anyone who likes weird horror should check this out.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
