Mime

It’s been ages since I read a good horror novel. The last one that blew my mind was The Ritual when I listened to the audiobook last year. I wanted to read this when I read the blurb. It sounded like a fantastic book, something I could really get stuck into and the kind of horror fiction I enjoy a lot; demons and supernatural creepiness. I cannot fault this book. It’s a fantastic read. The book reminds me a lot of The Dresden Files or Alone in the Dark. Elliot is a great character, driven to shine a light on the supernatural after his brother was killed by something not of this earth. He ruins his career was decent journalist to run an occult newspaper and is something of a joke to his former colleagues but he refuses to look away from the horrors he now knows exist. Sam is great as well; I loved the relationship between them both. This is a long book but it didn’t feel like it because I was so riveted by what I was reading. This might be the first in a series. I hope so. I can’t wait to read what the author comes up with next.

A demonic mime who's creations are real ... What else can I say? Seriously though this book wasn't bad at all. It was well written and fun. If you're looking for a quick read with lots of gore, suspense, and subtext you could find a lot worse then Mime. Enjoy!

I don’t often turn to horror fiction but I have read a few in the past like The Ritual and the odd Stephen King. This was definitely more spooky than anything, which I think I enjoy more, it makes it easier to read when home alone!
