These Nameless Things by Shawn Smucker
5.0
Whenever I read one of Shawn Smucker’s books I need a couple of days before I can rate and review it. His writing always seems to start slow and small and build with every chapter until days and even weeks after you finish reading. Each of his books is layered with so much important truth you can’t just close it when you’re done and move onto the next book on your shelf. You need to sit with it. You need to ponder it.
These Nameless Things is no different. Like a long forgotten memory it works its way into your consciousness slowly, and then it doesn’t let go. Even before the memory has a name it is changing you and reminding you and even, just a bit, horrifying you. And then it is whispering gentle hope that sits with you and embraces you and changes you long after you finish.
Read this book. Let it remind you of all the nameless things you have forgotten. And then let it hold you in its promises of redemption.
