5/26/2023 0 Comments The house on the borderland![]() ![]() This is certainly a good book to ruminate on after reading. I will let it sit for a while and ruminate for now. I am already looking forward to rereading it at some point which is high praise. If it doesn't, it is definitely standing there just outside of the gates. Does this make my lofty and exclusive favorites list? Honestly, I don't know. That said, this is me being extremely nit-picky holding it to a super high standard. If I had any critique at all, it would be the ending felt just the tiniest bit unfinished and over too quick. This is all the more impressive considering that as far as I know this is one of the earliest books of this type. ![]() That slow burn begins heating up in intensity and hits a point of critical mass and you find yourself devouring page after page not being able to turn the page fast enough to keep up. Though, the author skillfully gives us a tease of what is to come right at the beginning so during that slow burn you are assured it will be worth it. Despite the age of this book I think it holds up as a powerful tale of cosmic horror. This book was written by a true master of the craft. If you like this genre of cosmic horror and do not balk at a slow burn, read it ![]()
