The Cabin at the End of the World

2018 Winner of the Bram Stoker award

2019 Winner of the Locus Horror Award

2019 Nominated for the BFSA August Derleth Award

I started this book with trepidation. Let me rephrase that, I have started this book three times with trepidation. The first time I got about 15% into it when I returned it to the library when I ran out of time. The second time, I took it out but never even started it. But it was the 2018 Bram Stoker winner and I am doing my darndest to finish reading all the Stoker award winning novels this year.

I wish I could tell you why this book just did not grab me. I adored Disappearance at Devil's Rock and A Head Full of Ghosts, but right from the beginning I was just not able to "get into" this book. The characters are well written and after a slow beginning with frankly some very clunky character development, the action really picked up. But I just struggled to finish this book, especially after the huge plot twist about 1/2 way through. After that, I just was completely unmotivated to finish this book...... but I did.

I was ok with the ending although not everyone will be.
