Corey reviewed One Bloody Thing After Another by Joey Comeau
Review of 'One Bloody Thing After Another' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Like Andrew Kaufman's similar (in tone) [b:All My Friends Are Superheroes|944334|All My Friends Are Superheroes|Andrew Kaufman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1290500936s/944334.jpg|774561], Bloody is a sneaky beast, content to let the reader parse out the story from glimpses and hints. Comeau is not out to write a horror novel per se. He's far more interested in presenting little snippets of tales, letting his unique voice weave his fables together in a method designed to subtly dislodge the reader from the limitations of conventional storytelling and simply let Comeau's mix of sly humour and genuine unease co-mingle in the brain. Comeau's story is weird in the best definition of the word, melancholy, disturbing, and unexpectedly uplifting. I can't say that One Bloody Thing After Another is a perfect novel, but in its own gentle, meandering way, it is perfectly wonderful.
