Now the lives and very souls of his wife and unborn child are at stake.To save them, he must journey into the bowels of purgatory in search of a sacred key promised to restore the natural order of life and death. Alone, confused, and damned, Chet steels himself against the unfathomable terrors awaiting him as he descends into deaths stygian blackness.

OK, I‘ve been kind of a horrible teammate this month. I was on vacation the first week… the rest of the time I was working and I have not had a day off since the 9th. I did do some reading and I currently have 180 points for spooky/themed books, 10 points for other books, and 1130 points for 113 hours in a readathon. Total 1320 points for reading.

I‘m using this as my #ThinkGreek mythology retelling for #Booked2022… it‘s not a pure retelling but it definitely includes a whole lot of mythology and gods all together in this (absolutely terrifying) purgatory place. Ghosts, gods, demons, angels, monsters and epic battles—there is a LOT going on here, but it‘s definitely a well-written, fascinating story. I think it was bit longer than it needed to be, but otherwise I loved it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chet a man willingly seeking his wife & child even through hell. Its a WILD story filled with Gods fighting over the dead. Simplified yes but yeah a plethora of amazing characters emerged from 15 hours of audio to enter me after I had read the pages. I hope you find it engaging lol

AMAZING. This book was wonderful. I finished it in 2 days and it‘s nearly 500 pages—I couldn‘t put it down. Run, don‘t walk, to get this book.

First book of the year! I bought this for myself for Christmas last year and didn‘t get around to it in 2018. This is the last unread Brom on my shelves and I loved all the others so I‘m sure to love this as well—plus the underworld! Ancient, forgotten gods! Damnation! How very exciting

Another trip to the post office, another batch of book mail! Looking forward to diving into lost gods this coming year

BookBoggart I love everything Brom does. This one is probably my favorite. His drawings are also so intense and beautiful. In an odd, great imagination, kind of way 7y
KtheBookwyrm @BookBoggart I came across krampus at Barnes and Noble once, flipped through and got to a page that was about Santa getting his head ripped off and was sold. It was years later that I actually got to read the book and I loved it! I also bought one of his prints because his art is absolutely gorgeous--all dark and beautiful. 7y

I am really enjoying Lost Gods by Brom. I highly suggest any of his books. Krampus is my favorite. Brom‘s dark and twisted tales never disappoint. #brom # #darkrealism

This was definately a dark read. Few messed up dreams due to reading it before bed. Alas though tis right up my ally! So imaginative, thought out and informative. The mythology is accurate the odyssey this man endures kept me riveted and rooting for him. Also as I've previously said I'm a sucker for multiple perspectives. Now onto the child thief! I love this author. Oh and his art... dark and alluring just beautiful. #muchlove #darkdelights

An epic adventure of mythic proportions. It was exactly what I wanted it to be when I picked it up. I highly recommend to anyone who likes mythology or quest stories. The worlds were well fleshed out and vivid.

Used my birthday Waterstones vouchers towards this beast of a book. If it is anywhere near as good as The Child Thief I'll be in for a treat!

I'm not normally into really dark story lines, but the writing in here is just so vivid and refreshing that I refuse to put it down (until I write a review about it). But between hints to mythology and settings that accompany the adventure, I recommend Brom to anyone.

Mmlindquist15 I think I'm partway through a Brom book somewhere... it wasn't bad; the book was just too big to lug around 😅 (edited) 8y

I'm not a big sci-fi or fantasy reader, but this book is just what I needed. It's a well-paced story that's easy to get lost in.

Yessssss!!! I got my hands on Brom's new book last night. The illustrations are amazing! I'm so excited to start this. My Friday is full with work and then a Flight of the Conchords concert, but I'm saving my Saturday and Sunday for this. I can't wait!

tricours I like the look of the Koike book! Horror or crime? (I've never read anything by that author) 8y
BekahB @tricours I think this is more horror than crime, but her bio says she's known for combining horror with detective fiction. She's one of Japan's most popular authors. I've never read anything by her so this will be a nice introduction. 8y
tricours I will have to get my hands on something by her then! 8y
