Ghost Eaters: A Novel

Product Information

It also has kind of a mushroom tie-in, which is awesome, because as you know, I love mushrooms, and—and I never thought I’d find myself writing this sentence—mushrooms are having a major moment right now. A great choice for fans of A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Orphans of Bliss, edited by Mark Matthews.

As I mentioned, the tone was well-depicted for the character he created, but it was not the best choice for a haunting and painful tale. Ghosteater is an albino, lion-headed Beastlord who leads his people near the city of Caddow in the Realm of Shyish. You'll find yourself chuckling along at family dinner parties or graveyard smoke sessions thinking, "Oh I know exactly who these people are.Ghost Eater" takes place several hundred years from our present era, in a world profoundly transformed by technological advancements and societal upheavals. It seems silly to me not to start this review without telling you that this novel is incredibly divisive. Grief and addiction are strong themes throughout, and it was interesting seeing these things being tackled in a horror novel. Without these technological advancements human civilizations would have crumbled and disappeared many decades ago. It's as though Chapman is trying too hard to be hip and cutting-edge, or at least to make his characters out to be, and that makes for a lot of choppy and nonsensical sentences.

I struggled to connect with the characters and their relationships, which were such a key part of the story. Not to be outdone by their beautiful face; GHOSTEATER's original music as well as mixing comes first and foremost. Both feature travels down waterways, descent into steamy, wild jungles and to some extent descent into madness. A keenly observant narrative that, with a mix of body horror and just plain horror, plucks at the raw nerves of the grieving process. He managed to make this very young, immature (not just because of her age) female narrator feel as if she were really telling the story.Yes, I most certainly would, and I'll most definitely be keeping an eye out for future work from Clay McLeod Chapman. Within this storyline there was also a half-hearted attempt at exploring her most inner desires (domestic bliss with a bebe) but this also seemed out of left field because she never mentioned wanting to settle down with Silas?
