From one of horror's new voices, GOBLIN is an excellent and unique stories set in the same fictional city. Mr. Malerman's writing flows beautifully, and he blends love and horror and hope in equal measures. Each story thrills and chills. Highly recommended.I was fortunate enough to grab myself a copy of the limited edition of Goblin and I hope that one day it is made available to a wider audience. More people should get to experience this strange world that Malerman presents us with. I was really set on describing this book as Malermans take on Tales From the Crypt: a series of somewhat lurid horror stories strung together with a framing story. Then I got to the last two installments in the novel in six novellas and they blew my tidy description
Malerman never stops to amaze me! His writing is perfect, the story hooks you from the start. For fans of his, this is a must read! If you have not read any of his works, put this and Bird Box on your list. You will not regret it! Unbury Carol is now on my TBR pile!
4.5/5 stars. I loved Bird Box, and therefore eagerly read Goblin. Its hard for me to say which one I actually enjoyed more, but Goblin is definitely the better written of the two. It doesnt suffer from short, stunted sentences, nor does it have an ending that doesnt live up to the rest of the book. Like Bird Box, Goblin is a tense thrill ride that kept me quickly turning the pages. Unlike Bird Box, the several short stories in Goblin introduce readers to a diverse list of characters and
If you haven't read "Bird Box" by Malerman stop reading this review and go read it. Then come back. Goblin comprises six novellas of about 60-65 pages each. All are based around the fictional city of Goblin - a feel similar to what Stephen King has created across many novels in Derry, ME. This is classic horror/suspense. Two of the novellas are five-star. One is four-star. Two are three-star. And one is two-star. Blended together it is a fun world he creates, but only slightly above average.
Like everyone else, Josh Malerman easily became my favorite author after reading his debut, BIRD BOX. It was arguably one of the first books that ever kept me up at night, afraid to open my eyes.Goblin (with a big thanks to Earthling Publications) is a triumph in every meaning of the word.My favorite of the six novellas (although it reads like a novel) was definitely The Hedges.I have more to say, but I'll take to elliottjscott.tumblr.com to say them. Buy this book and read it deep into the
Continuing my Malerman Winter, I picked up the Earthling Press limited edition of "Goblin". When I first heard of this book, my thoughts went to the man responsible for Bird Box tackling some malevolent spirit wreaking havoc and grisly reckoning on the unsuspecting. And it was to be released around Halloween? Shut up and take my money.Yet. Goblin turns out to be a town, not a poltergeist. And the book is a collection of novellas, all relating stories set in the town. So that set it a little
