A review by myweereads
Currency of Souls by Kealan Patrick Burke
4.0
“This is where I come to try to forget my pain. There’s so much of it here that isn’t mine, it should make me feel better, but it doesn’t.”
The story takes place in the grim town of Milestone. Populated by the worst of the worst, the bar Eddie’s Tavern is home to a group of misfits every night. Each person has come to their own form of purgatory here and the Reverend like clockwork will decide who stays and who goes.
I enjoy stories which emanate shock and horror. This is one of those ones which does that with every turn of the page. Every character has a dark past and although appear twisted their true self is revealed.
The imagery begins to feel all too real the more you read on. What I liked about this book was the horror is present not only through language, its also about the reality of what is happening and what the truth really is. It’s the kind of stories I enjoy the most by Kealan Patrick Burke.
It had been while since I last read a book by this author and this was a good one to get back into his works
