The Haar

All I knew about this book was that it was a different kind of horror novel - practically went into this book blind.

The Haar is definitely a new kind of horror novel - at easy for me. It was beautiful in the strangest and often goriest of ways.

I didn't expect a horror novel to make me feel emotions at the end of it. It was really a beautiful book.

When I first started reading horror novels, I was looking for the same feeling I get from horror movies and couldn't find it anywhere. The Haar was the first time I've literally had to put a hand over my mouth to process the image a book just put in my mind. The gore was so nasty and vibrant and fantastic, and then it's balanced with this heartfelt story of grief and love. A story this outrageous has to be executed just right, and David Sodergren makes it look easy.

PS — I never would have guessed Bianca Del Rio would be mentioned in this book but I appreciate it nonetheless.
