The Fisherman

I thought Langan's novel was pleasantly genre-bending in a way that it stubbornly refuses to fit neatly into any one category. It was described to me as horror fiction, and while that is true, it wasn't quite as scary as I was hoping. That's okay though because the sheer oddness of the novel was done in a tasteful and effective manner which more than made up for it. I think the origin story halfway though was quite long, and likely could have been expanded into it's own prequel. That being said, If there was a way to rate it as 4.5 stars, I would because I feel it's just shy of perfect.
