A review by booksblabbering
The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson

2.25

Stranger Things meets Ghostbusters meets Boy’s Life.

This short book had a lot of hype for being a moving, profound read where the horror isn’t the forefront. 

Perhaps it is because I did this by audio, but I felt lost throughout as the narrative jumps between recounting the narrator’s childhood with his uncle and friends and the Saturday Night Club and his melancholic musings as an adult practicing as a surgeon. 

<b>Reality never changes. Only our recollections of it do. Whenever a moment passes, we pass along with it into the realm of memory. And in that realm, geometries change. Contours shift, shades lighten, objectives dissolve. Memory becomes what we need it to be.

</b>

For me, there just wasn’t much for me to latch onto. The characters felt hollow and the ultimate twist which I am sure is what makes this so profoundly popular and moving for others, I saw coming from the start. 

I do think this would make a great adaption.
