Loading... Pearl (2021)by Josh Malerman
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  Emree | Aug 20, 2023 |   While this book is no longer available with its original title, it is still a delightfully creepy tale. The book itself is super terrifying and tense, making readers feel like they're on the edge of their seats the entire time. This book, while featuring much of Malerman's signature writing style, also reminded me of Grady Hendrix's 70's/80's style horror novels. This story has multiple POVs (including our lovely porcine demon), which does make it just a tad confusing. Having only read bits and pieces of his full-length works, and short stories from Malerman, I definitely think that I prefer his short stories. Trigger Warnings: Blood, gore, and more Overall rating: 2.5/5 (rounded to 2) Pearl will be available for purchase on October 12th. Be sure to add it to your Goodreads shelf and see where it's available to buy. Also, be sure to check out Josh Malerman's website! I was lucky enough to be able to read this Advanced Reader's Copy through my partnership with NetGalley. All opinions are my own. (  ) ghostie_reads | Jul 13, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
"From the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie Josh Malerman comes the legend of a strange new monster unlike any other in horror. There's something strange about Walter Kopple's farm. At first it seems to be his grandson, who cruelly murders one of Walter's pigs in an act of seemingly senseless violence. But then the rumors begin--people in town whisper that Walter's grandson heard a voice that commanded him to kill. And that the voice belongs to a most peculiar creature: Walter's pig, Pearl. Walter is not sure what to believe. He knows that he's always been afraid of the strangely malevolent Pearl. But as madness and paranoia grip the town and the townspeople descend on Walter's farm with violent wrath, Walter begins to wonder if true evil wears a human face"-- No library descriptions found. |
