Everything the Darkness Eats by Eric LaRocca

dark fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I feel there's two separate short stories here, that LaRocca has tried to combine - meaning that the final meeting of these strands falls flat. Of the two, the supernatural horror of Mr Crowley drew me in further and was much more tense. (yes, homophobia and violent rape is very scary, but Mr Crowley
has a god in his basement and brainwashes people
)
No idea why I keep reading his work. Sometimes, a short story really clicks for me so I keep returning, in hope.
