A review by taylorhohulin
American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett

5.0

I'd almost forgotten how much I love scary stories about small towns where things are juuuuust a little off. And then I read this bad boy and HOLY COW was I reminded. Because it's not just about a creepy small town. It's about crazy science experiments gone wrong. It's about ancient creatures beyond human understanding. It's creepy and mysterious, and the entire last half of the book has the intensity level that most books save for the last couple scenes. I'm going to be reading more from Robert Jackson Bennett, and I'm going to be doing that soon.
