I really like Jones’ concepts for his books, but the style of prose seems to never jive with me. I really liked the idea of Mongrel as well. It’s fresh and interesting, and best of all: thematic and meaningful. The books just don’t take off for me, though.

Maybe it’s because I’m not a horror enthusiast, so perhaps just don’t get as invested as others seem to be? The dialogue structure also just doesn’t play well in audiobook format. There’s a lot of X, said, Y said - which feels like a splinter in your brain after a while. You always know who’s talking but it is grating.
