A Cosmology of Monsters

I couldn't believe this was a debut novel. It's so well-written and so scary and oh so very weird. The trend these days seems to be weirdness based on HP Lovecraft weirdness, and this is one of them. It's a story about a dysfunctional family and their encounter with monsters and the strange dimension they come from. This book grabbed me right at the beginning and never let me go. When I got to the end, I didn't want it to wrap up. It did, and quite nicely as well. It's not that I love stories of dysfunction, but it was such a damned well-crafted universe that I wanted to treasure every second in it. And it was hard to do that because the tension kept me reading very quickly and prevented me from putting it down when I was exhausted. I discovered this book from one of the authors I follow on Twitter, but I can't remember which one. Whoever it was, I'm so glad I followed their recommendation.
