Why read it?
1 author picked Absolution Blues as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Generally speaking, I don't read horror novels (I'm such a chicken), but I loved this author's previous book, "Dirt Road Home." As this author is known for horror, I figured I'd give his latest ghost story, "Absolution Blues," a shot. This is great psychological horror. I enjoyed reading something outside of my usual comfort zone. It's fast paced and interesting--it definitely got me curious about reading more horror! I liked the aspect of being in the main character's head and unsure whether what he was experiencing was real or imagined. Very creative and well-written!
