Description

1988, Art Barbara is a painfully shy/socially awkward teenager, underweight, acne-ridden, and suffering from scoliosis when he starts the Pallbearers' Club. Members volunteer as mourners for the homeless and lonely, those with no one else to bury them. Art recruits his former bully, Eddie Patrick, a fellow slacker Cayla, and the mysterious Mercy Brown. Art and Mercy quickly form an intense friendship, but one day Art takes a photo of Mercy, and captures a strange parasitic creature wrapped around her.

I never give one star ratings… But this book deserves it. I have never read a more boring book in my life. It’s like you’re sitting next to a narcissistic man, talking about his boring life. How can you title something like that as a ‚horror novel‘ when all he does is talk about his boring life and his only friend… ‚Art Barbara‘ (come on - what a ridiculous name to begin with) was a narcissistic brat without friends when he was young and grew up to be a narcissistic dumb man without friends. He is lazy and he’s a tick, who lives off other people. He is so damn unlikeable, just like everyone else in this boring piece of literature. If you’re considering reading this, do yourself a favor and do something else. Anything else.

I‘m sorry to say that I dnf it at 40%. I really wanted to like this one as much as „A Head Full of Ghosts“, but it was not endearing, scary or thrilling at all. I don’t see how Stephen King was scared as he says on the cover. Note to self: Stop reading Mr. King’s recommendations as I’m more often than not disappointed
