A review by onionsinge
The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson
3.0
This book comes very close to 5 stars for me. It’s quick and easy—and I believe it’s a must-read. So why not 5 stars?
SPOILERS
It really comes down to the neatly tied bow of an ending. There’s nothing wrong with a happy ending, but this one wrapped up too freeze-frame-at-the-end-of-an-80s-movie for me. I appreciate knowing some of the stories after the stories for each character, but the way it’s handled, including the way Uncle C’s lore is expanded upon, felt a bit rushed—and I would have loved to see some of author Craig Davidson’s creativity shine here. Because it’s not like his writing wasn’t top notch.
All of this is a minor gripe, though. I loved it and would read it again and would recommend to just about anybody. I should probably give it 5 stars but I’m stubborn. So there.
