Wild Spaces

I found Wild Spaces randomly in the new fiction section at the library and the first sentence grabbed me right away. It included ominous foreshadowing of things to come and I just had to know what they were.

A Lovecraftian coming-of-age tale about a boy whose life is completely upended when his mysterious grandfather comes for a visit and refuses to leave, I finished this quick read at the library. It was (of course) very strange and I loved the eerie build-up to the boy's eventual important discovery of the truth about his family and himself.

4.5 stars.
