The Bram Stoker Awardnominated author of Bird Box returns with a haunting tale of love, redemption, and murder. Carol Evers is a woman with a dark secret. She has died many times . . . but her many deaths are not final: They are comas, a waking slumber indistinguishable from death, each lasting days. Only two people know of Carols eerie condition. One is her husband, Dwight, who married Carol for her fortune, andwhen she lapses into another comaplots to seize it by proclaiming her dead and quickly burying her . . . alive. The other is her lost love, the infamous outlaw James Moxie. When word of Carols dreadful fate reaches him, Moxie rides the Trail again to save his beloved from an early, unnatural grave. And all the while, awake and aware, Carol fights to free herself from the crippling darkness that binds hersummoning her own fierce will to survive. As the players in this drama of life and death fight to decide her fate, Carol must in the end battle to save herself. The haunting story of a woman literally bringing herself back from the dead, Unbury Carol is a twisted take on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale that will stay with you long after youve turned the final page.

Such a fine line between skillfully ratcheting up the tension and dragging it out too long. The pace of westerns is naturally slower in a time before modern communication or transportation, but there were still chapters in here that felt like filler. I liked seeing the husband squirm, but the comeuppance felt pedestrian, contrasting the supernatural elements in the story. Of the reveals, one I didn't see coming, one wasn't satisfying. ⚠️Ableism

I‘d pan this book, but I DID finish it, so there was a spark there. My main issue was a shaky premise, which made the whole story sort of unbelievable. And for a story that hinges on sympathy for the MC, you hardly get to know her at all. Very MEH, in the end.

Picked this up at the OLA conference…um…some years ago now and thought it might make a good next read. Thrillers aren‘t my usual kind of thing, but with fantastical and fairytale and mystery elements, it sounds intriguing…

Pretty damn good progress if I do say so myself ???
Finished this in primarily a day, I believe. My best sum up is a comedic western cum fairy tale with horror elements. I wasn't sure at first but fell in love with all the characters and enjoyed the pacing and flipping perspectives. Malerman omits what one might say could be a climatic scene to explain it after. I feel this fits with the "magic" scene that pops up throughout.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs Thanks for the tag! 😃 🙌 ❤

1. Yes! Both, but since Covid, 😷 I've only buddy read virtually. The pandemic altered our lives completely. 😩

2. I LOVE when they challenge you to read a book turned into a movie. That's my favorite. I also love reading gothic, thrillers, horror, and romance arcs. If the challenge has something to do with finding clues, I'm game.

I found this one unsatisfying, but I don't want to say much because it's an #lmpbc book. I will say that I felt the world building was sloppy. It's an alternate reality so doesn't have to conform to actual history, but it should have some internal logic to it. And Malerman makes the weird and ineffective choice to leave out the most important scene. So, unsatisfying.

My choices. I‘m really leaning towards Unbury Carol but figured I should add another choice in. If these really don‘t work I can pull something else 🖤
Also whichever we choose for any of us I was thinking it might be fun to each pick a color for a pen for our annotations.

A paranormal-western, sleeping beauty retelling. It was almost a so-so, as I never love paranormal reads. But as far as fairytale retellings go, it was completely unique, and I enjoyed that aspect. #FairytaleReadingChallenge @Charityann

I gave this 3 stars which I guess makes it a so-so. I enjoyed it and read it very quickly, but I think it kind of missed the mark in some ways. I wonder if I‘d have been more satisfied if it was longer (and had less chapters from dirtbag Dwight‘s perspective)? Anyway, it was okay and as usual the cats provided great company. #huey #catsoflitsy

🎧 The premise of this story sends a shiver down my spine: A woman who is prone to sudden death-like comas is buried alive!

But oddly, it seems to be devolving into mediocrity— not helped by the audio narration (Dan John Miller).
It‘s not so bad that I‘ll DNF it, but I am managing my expectations.

Josh Malerman is definitely a talented writer. Am proud to own a sexy signed copy. This one is set in the old time west. Carol has a medical condition that puts her in temporary comas where she appears dead. Her husband plots to bury her alive during one of these spells as no one else has knowledge of her condition. Or so he thinks... #MountTBR

A Wild West Sleeping Beauty. Carol has temporary comas. Only her husband, maid, and an outlaw ex-lover know. When she falls into a coma, her husband claims she died to steal her wealth. And a three way race is on to bury her, wake up, or rescue her.

Frankly, my big issue with this is that it didn‘t get nearly as creepy as I expected. I wanted more horror, less gunslinging. And Sleeping Beauty retellings are hit and miss anyway, for me. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Suet624 It sure does sound creepy though. 😂😂😳 4y
BookmarkTavern @Suet624 True, but it was nominated for a Bram Stoker award, so I was expecting more horror with the being buried alive part. 4y

As I mentioned in a previous post I feel that Malerman gets better and better with each book. "Unbury Carol," his third novel tells of Carol Evers & her temporary comas, often only lasting a couple of days, that resemble actual death. Her husband plans on pronouncing her dead & burying her after she's had her next mini-coma. One of the main villains, Smoke, is basically a love child of the above pictured. I really liked this one.

I read this for my topics bookclub, because it was touted as a retelling of sleeping beauty and we are reading #FairyTaleRetellings this month.

Also, it‘s by the author of Birdbox, which I really liked.

There are some terrific characters: Carol herself, who all her life has had spells where she seems to die, but is just in an extremely slowed state. Her lost love Moxie, a famous outlaw. Smoke and Rot, two true villains.

A dark tale indeed!

Skygoddess1 I loved this book. Been thinking of rereading it on audio, how was the audio presentation? 4y

I missed my report last week due to my annual dance festival. So far this month I‘ve finished these three. All were good, but none were stellar.

I‘ve got 4 in progress 😬📚! Unbury Carol and Vassa in the Night are for my bookclub meeting next weekend. Our theme this month is Fairytale retellings. The Scent Keeper is a Buddyread and Problems for Owl Post, my postal Bookclub.

I hope to have lots of reading time today!

Cinfhen I‘ve been curious about The Editor but I‘ve felt it‘s probably a #BorrowNotBuy right??? 4y
Soubhiville @Cinfhen I really liked it, if you do audio it‘s good that way. There was none of the bizarre dream sequence/ magical weirdness that Lily and the Octopus had, just straight up fiction. 4y

I have anxiety coupled with complex trauma and PTSD, books have always been a getaway from my own mind and also a calm in the storm that is me. I have an inspection for the townhome I rent today, and I don't do well with strangers in my home. Alas, I am quite worked up. I haven't slept well, so I've made myself some comfort food, grabbed my comfy quilt, and this book by one of my favorite authors, hoping to ease my mind over the next few hours.

That cover! This was a great read,a supernatural Western set in an unnamed world devoid of much of the cultural baggage of the real Old West but full of tricksy outlaws, comatose heroines (asleep but not helpless) and some over the top villains. I loved the characters, and parts of the book had a great Stephen King vibe to me.
