Corey reviewed Point Hollow by Rio Youers
Review of 'Point Hollow' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Youers lays out clues as to how this ungodly pit of despair came to be, but backstory is not the fuel for this horror, it’s the physical manifestation of indescribable malevolence driving the narrative. As the extent of Point Hollow’s degeneracy becomes more and more apparent to the novels many characters (all of whom are extremely well-drawn), so too the horror exponentially grows. Youers’ creation is not a pleasant read — I’ll likely never eat an Oreo cookie again — but that’s as it should be, that’s how you know the horror is working. It’s a grotesque, filthy, and gruesome trek into evil (think [a:Jack Ketchum|90070|Jack Ketchum|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1398128441p2/90070.jpg]), and I highly recommend it. It’d make a fine double-bill with Michael Rowe’s [b:Enter, Night|11515975|Enter, Night|Michael Rowe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327898829s/11515975.jpg|16452403].
