House of Sighs by Aaron Dries
4.0
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. Make no mistake, House Of Sighs is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. It is a headlong dive into madness and violence, and it pulls no punches. This was unrelenting horror... it was bleak and brutal, and a definite page turner as I could not wait to see where it was going to go next. An absolute soul crusher of a book. Enter at your own risk.
My copy of House Of Sighs also included the sequel, The Sound Of His Bones Breaking. While it was a shorter story, it took much longer to set up the story. It probably wasn't until the halfway point that it reveals the connection to House Of Sighs. This story dragged a bit here and there, and at times I just wanted it to get to the point. While not completely necessary, it was still a nice addition to the House Of Sighs story, and worth the payoff at the end.
