The Bucket List

Book Review ✨The Bucket List by Mark Towse and Chisto Healey

If you like horror and comedy, plus lots of blood, check out The Bucket List. The setting is absolutely perfect. A “quaint” motel in the middle of nowhere run by two eccentric and may I say “odd” elderly people. Talk about creepy!

The story follows two couples, Judy and Chris and Melody and Richie. Both couples have their own reasons for stopping at the motel, run by Marge and her doting, husband Alby. (Albert) but one thing is for fact, a night of hospitality will end in living hell.

The writing pulls you in with anticipation. The atmosphere and foreshadowing builds from the very beginning leaving a tense feeling in the air. Characters are well rounded and interesting and the plot is straight up fun! Let's not forget, if you happen to have a funny bone in your skeleton, you'll love the quips and bits of humor.

One thing is for certain, the bits about toes in this story really got to me, giving me body horror to the max. I also dig how the authors would use certain words to “trigger” flashbacks to some of the more gruesome parts. I don't know if that was intentional or not but kudos to you both for skeeving me out.

Find out who gets to check off their bucket list!
