Miranda Kate Why Miranda loves this book

Seen through the main character's eyes, the author absorbs the reader in the Turkish culture through not just description of location, but conversation, food and archeology. It's almost like we, the reader, are actually there. And the more the main characters discover, the faster the pace, and we get to visit Morocco and Egypt along the way. It ends in a dark confrontation, which for a horror lover like me is the pièce de résistance, and very well executed. And though I had hoped for a happy ending, we are left with a twist, and an opening.

It's a compelling read that takes the reader on a quest of sorts. I really liked the characters and would love to experience their adventures again.

Miranda Kate Why Miranda loves this book

Michael Wombat said he wanted to write one book that was bonkers, and although some might say it is, for me it was the perfect amalgamation of several genres in one. It covered many my favourites: science fiction, space and aliens, plus horror, giant flesh-eating spider crabs, mixed with zombies. There's a touch of historical fiction with the encroaching second world war and nazi's, and the author modelled characters and speech patterns from that period.

The author brings such wonderful characters alive, even ones that aren't human. I laughed, I cried and I was thoroughly gripped throughout this fast paced book. Personally it had it all.

1 author picked Mythily as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

1937. When Mythily's plane suddenly loses all power and crashes into the jungle of a mysterious uncharted island, she and her companion Barry are faced with a kaleidoscope of horrors. They discover they are not alone. Initially they think the giant flesh eating spider-crabs are their biggest threat, until they uncover a far bigger secret that threatens the entire world.

A survivor's tale of a lost island, alien visitation and giant flesh eating spider-crabs.

"A wild read, full of suspense, great characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing. If you like unusual and slightly barmy (in the best way)…
