The Paradox Twins

My experience was that of reading a fairly enjoyable family drama, with a dash of comedy and oddity thrown in here and there. Unfortunately the oddity, the “horror”, the “metafiction”, is so sparse and lacking it frankly adds absolutely nothing to the story, take it or leave it, it really makes no difference. While it might make a great “first weird fiction” book for someone, to be more than that it needs to utilize the weirdness to create a more complex, unpredictable, and interwoven story.

It wasn't bad,
it just wasn't what it thought it was.
