Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig
5.0
Thank you to Del Ray and Netgalley for a free copy of this book.
Holy bananas. This book was absolutely insane, but I loved it. It starts off a tad slow, but then it comes together and this chunker feels way less chunky. Wendig brings us to a small rural town where an apple is wreaking havoc. People are addicted and the effects are horrifying. The writing was fabulous, and I thought the character development was well done. Wendig also puts us in the past for some chapters, or interludes as they are called in this book. These fill in backstory of the apples and town we are in, which add a lot to the story.
For those who don't like gore, this will not be for you. For those who love a good horror novel I highly recommend.
