Book Reviews & Thoughts |
Goodreads Synopsis: A college student reluctantly attends a family chili cookout that turns into a never ending nightmare. A man desperate for job skills uses a brain implant to help him learn, but it malfunctions and leaves him sexually attracted to shadows. A private investigator is hired to discover who keeps befouling the walls of convenience store bathrooms. Two deer engaged in combat find that they are unable to unlock from one another’s antlers after the fight is over. A single mother spends 2020 battling an evil landlord, a fascist neighbor, national political chaos, and a global pandemic. These are the strange stories told by regulars at the local bar on Christmas Eve, stories which each began with a phone call from someone who announced “you don’t know me, but we’re cousins.” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58878054-cousin-calls Thank you to Zeb Haradon for providing me with an ebook copy of Cousin Calls for me to review. Unfortunately, this book did not catch my interest, and I ended up not finishing it. There are a number of very unique characters with interesting, unconventional personalities. Haradon did a great job describing their interactions. I felt the introduction into the story could have been expanded a bit, which would have possibly drawn me in a bit more. It just wasn't the genre/book for me. I will conclude by saying, I feel this book would be a much better fit for someone who is typically a science fiction reader. 2 Stars!
