Review of 'The Library at Mount Char' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Just picked it up on a whim after seeing it mentioned on an article on weird fiction somewhere. This is possibly one of the best examples of "weird" or "other-wordly" fiction. I've read it tagged as "urban horror" in a few places, although I'm not very sure of that label (I don't read much horror).

This book in particular takes you through a lot of weird places and scenarios, all the while continuing to move along in the plot. It does not sacrifice its plot or its characters for the "fantastic" elements in any manner, and that is what makes it a great book.
