Books can have teeth. A whole mouthful of them. The Pallbearers Club has a whole lifetime of them. --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart Is a ChainsawA cleverly voiced psychological thriller about an unforgettable--and unsettling--friendship, with blood-chilling twists, crackling wit, and a thrumming pulse in its veins--from the nationally bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Survivor Song.What if the coolest girl you've ever met decided to be your friend?Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.Okay, that part was a little weird.So was her obsessive knowledge of a notorious bit of New England folklore that involved digging up the dead. And there were other strange things - terrifying things - that happened when she was around, usually at night. But she was his friend, so it was okay, right?Decades later, Art tries to make sense of it all by writing The Pallbearers Club: A Memoir. But somehow this friend got her hands on the manuscript and, well, she has some issues with it. And now she's making cuts.Seamlessly blurring the lines between fiction and memory, the supernatural and the mundane, The Pallbearers Club is an immersive, suspenseful portrait of an unusual and disconcerting relationship.

I really enjoyed this book.
It was quite a slow starter, I wasn‘t exactly sure what it was about until quite a bit in but this didn‘t put me off as I really enjoyed the writing style
This wasn‘t the horror that I expected it to be, though some parts were unnerving.
The music references throughout were brilliant.

The paragraphs are needlessly pages long in this book, making it hard on my old eyes. I‘m guessing this may be part of what other readers objected to. It does get points for The Princess Bride quote at the bottom of the left page!
