For fans of: creepy culty small towns, cosmic horror, dry humor and tight writing
I had a great time with Edenville. It combines a bunch of my favorite tropes into a tightly written cosmic nightmare. Quinn is one of my favorite protagonists in the books I've read this year. I also loved the snappy, dry humor throughout. It's not comedy horror, just written very tongue-in-cheek and very self aware. This is a very impressive debut novel and I'm excited to see what Sam Rebelein writes next. 4.5 stars, rounded up.
