![]() ![]() Instead, Wendig is at the top of his game, weaving strikingly taut prose into a well-constructed narrative that will feel right at home to longtime horror fans. ![]() The Book of Accidents is a big book that hits on so many aspects of the horror genre - there are touches of everything from the supernatural and gothic to the slasher and serial-killer subgenres - but does so in a way that never feels clunky or overwrought. ![]() It is an admittedly personal story about a former Philadelphia police officer who moves with his family to rural Pennsylvania, where he must not only come to grips with living in his childhood home (where good memories are hard to come by), but also reckon with the specter - both literally and figuratively - of his dead father and withstand a barrage of various other spooky things swirling around him. Wendig’s latest stand-alone novel, The Book of Accidents, may be his very best yet. I also grew up in a haunted house, and I’ve been wanting to tell that story for a long time too. ![]()
