futuristic violence and fancy suits by david wong

The concept is mostly sci-fi, though there are definite horror elements scattered throughout. The story itself, while pleasantly bizarre, is neither offbeat nor well-crafted enough to be great. It lacks the cohesion and storytelling that made John Dies so fantastic. Which is what Wong’s new novel, Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, feels like.

Without that, the book would’ve just been a random pile of shocks, one-liners, and oddities. I felt like my sanity was being sucked out through my asshole I laughed till I barfed I suffered moments of genuine, heart-wrenching fear.īut underneath all the awesome crazy was a truly inventive story, told in a blisteringly original voice. I couldn’t put it down because it just kept doing everything right. John Dies is one of the best horror novels I’ve read in the last decade. I am being perfectly literal here: that book tried to eat my testicles. It was all I could do to partially protect myself while howling for help. Once I was in there, there was no way out and the thing just would not stop trying to tear my nuts loose. Reading David Wong’s first book, John Dies at the End, was like being locked in a cage with a zombie tiger intent on chewing my balls off. Hill Jr.īook Review for The Demon of Decay by Alex C.
