Horror
I’ve read and loved a few (several?) books by David Sodergren. Things I’ve appreciated include, but are not limited to: creative, violent deaths; at least one scene I get such a kick out of that I put my put my book down and either stare at a wall or rush to describe it to my significant other only for him to look at me as though he is questioning his own life choices. And corny jokes, which Mr. Sodergren appears to enjoy as much as I do.
Death Spell has all of that in excess. At its heart this is a book about terrible things happenings to terrible people. Really terrible, gross, unexpected things, and really terrible, gross people that you like to see the terrible, gross things happen to. Angry, good-for-her revenge, black magic, and Meatloaf jokes. I might have appreciated the Meatloaf jokes most of all.
I would consider this an extreme horror book, although if you are reading David Sodergren your tastes might lean to the more extreme anyway. This was a bit different though, and I think I knew that as soon as we got to the worms. So if you are someone who benefits from trigger warnings you should probably check them before you pick this up.
Cause it’s gross. But so much fun at the same time.
