Disappearance at Devil's Rock by @paulgtremblay was the last of Tremblay's current horror novels I hadn't read...so now I've completed the set sans the crime fiction. Perhaps it's fitting that the book about a missing child should be the last to disappear from my TBR. Of course, I do not mean to make light of the subject, and Tremblay certainly does not. With the “is it or isn't it” ambiguity readers have enjoyed in Cabin, Head Full of Ghosts, and Pallbearer's Club, Tremblay challenges the reader to confront one of life's most tragic and terrifying situation and wrestle with the intrinsic drive to find a narrative, meaning, as extraordinary as the catastrophic circumstances. I don't mind admitting I flipped through the P.S. pages at the end because I felt like there were parts of the book I didn't sufficiently comprehend, but overall this novel kept me guessing and held my interest throughout. I also loved seeing the original story a couple of Survivor Song characters originated from. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
