A review by rainbowbookworm
Black Mad Wheel by Josh Malerman

Josh Malerman's tales are not masterpieces, but they do not need to be. He is a master at creating characters and situations that pull you in and don't release you. (All of the books by him that I have read have been read in one sitting.) This book is not exception. I had a bit of trouble understanding when the story took place, but ultimately I discovered that it is not necessary to identify a time period to understand the novel's message.
