The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig
adventurous
dark
funny
fast-paced
3.5
3.5 stars. Reminded me of It, but with no creepy orgy scene. This was very Stephen King, down to the meditations on the cycle of abuse and pain (micro and macro), the world-hopping origins of horror, and corny dialogue that will age very badly. Actually, the dialogue was more Joss Whedon, since it was all bad 2000s memey slang - cringey, but preferable to whatever it is King has going on.
I rated this 3.5 instead of 3 stars because twists were all very, very well established, and pretty much every loose end was tied up nicely at the end. I highly recommend this if your taste in horror is more adventurous, like, Stranger Things and less mind-numbing-can’t-sleep-afterwards stuff.
