A review by feebeecamille
Ill Will by Dan Chaon

3.0

This is a dark novel. Dark as in no light, no hope, at all. The setting is Cleveland and Chaon does a great job of capturing the bleak, frigid, low-light winters here. Cleveland winters are not for the weak. There is a lot going on in the plot - drug addiction, cancer deaths, child abuse, serial killers, satanic cults, delusions, psychopaths, murders. Add to all that an ambiguous but menacing ending and most readers are not going to like this.
