Blister
Blister | Jeff Strand
5 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
They call her Blister. She's a hideously disfigured twenty-three-year-old woman, living in a shed next to her father's house, hidden away from the world. Jason Tray is a successful cartoonist, banished to his agent's lakeside cabin for a few days of mandatory rest and relaxation. One night, while hanging out with a couple of the locals at a dive bar, he takes them up on their offer to go "see Blister," having no idea what they're talking about. He peeks through the window at the most nightmarish thing he's ever seen. In the morning, he wakes up, hung over and regretful. He's better than this. He needs to...apologize? From the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of PRESSURE and DWELLER comes a tale of fiendish secrets, ghastly crimes, and human monsters.

Pffffft 👎👎

Now this isn't a bad book. It's Strand. It can't be bad but that cover tells me to dig in for disfigurement, murder, secrets, horror. Sure, the book has all this in a weird backwoods town kind of way but it takes a back burner to the weirdest love story laced with trying way too hard comedic relief attempts. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

aperfectmjk Some good options in there! J.D. Barker... our man! I keep working on my list, but it's constantly evolving. I did put together a Halloween kids picture book bookspin bingo list though. 🤷‍♀️ 3y
FantasyChick @aperfectmjk It's not Fall until our guy is on the reading list!! I started this latest as an ARC and honestly, wasn't feeling it so I'm going to give it another try and see if my feelings change. I figure I'll hardly stick to my list at all. Too many books, not enough month! I do want to do a picture book list too but I think that's going to be an impulse library day 😊 3y
alisiakae So many great choices! 3y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I need to get my list narrowed down as well!!! 3y

RachelAmphlett Woah, nasty - what was the publisher thinking?😱 5y
julesG Ugh! 5y
Andrew65 You‘re getting good at finding these! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Thanks! 5y
Twainy I‘m cracking up! This is in my Audible wish list. To be fair that list is probably 30 pages long. This author has co-written a couple of fun horror books. I reviewed one here plus Draculas was good also. Blisters got 4.5 stars. It looks deliciously horrible! The cover alone!! ICK! Happy Halloween 😆 5y
EadieB @Twainy I know! I read that it is a fun comedy! 5y
gradcat Ooooohhhh, this one is très weird, if you ask me—so scary! 5y

Another book out of my comfort zone. Well, I couldn't put it down! This book is laugh out loud funny. Basically a dark comedy... A very funny one. Most of the humor is in the beginning but there's never a dull moment from start to finish. It's about a disfigured girl, that is the town "freak", living in her dad's shed. She befriends a stranger from out of town that was peeking through her window. After that all hell breaks loose!
