Short reviews that are written some time after reading the book
The Rain Belongs Here by Julie Rogers was an ideal choice for a lazy afternoon: dystopian world, an investigation and family loyalty all feature. The mystery isn’t all that difficult to solve however it is a pleasant well written read.
Clive Barker takes a straightforward plot layers it with intent, infuses it with wonder and leaves you absorbed in a world that horrifies yet ultimately delights. This is his gift as a storyteller. If you haven’t already, get to know, Cabal one of his classic horror novels.
