A Cosmology of Monsters

I feel so spoiled having read a book this complex, well written, and downright mesmerizing.

Moving, extraordinarily readable play on horror/weird tropes. Multi decade family story with monsters, murders, inter dimensional travel, and backyard haunted houses. Hamill is one to keep an eye on.

As is fairly common for me when reading a horror novel, I enjoyed the reading of the majority of this book and then it kinda fell apart for me at the end. Something about the big, final “battle” or whatever of the horror plot always just leaves me feeling....like I missed something? Or something more needs to happen?

Anyway, mostly quite enjoyable book about a boy who discovers his family has been generationally haunted by a particular monster.
