5+ Spooky Stars!!
I totally LOVED this horror novel, and I hope there's 20 sequels! I have little sense of humor, but even so I frequently laughed aloud at some of the scenes or turns of phrase, so yes, I guess this is a "horror comedy." I also totally emphasized with protagonist Jack. Man, this dude can't get a break! But he still perseveres, despite permanent insomnia and, I think, more than a touch of Asperger's [witness his encounters with the vain psychoanalyst], bullies, weirdos, and gods under the gas station. Like the Energizer bunny, he keeps on keeping on. [Like a Timex, he keeps on ticking. ] Assaults, broken bones, insomnia, betrayal: NOTHING stops this unassuming feckless hero. Gotta admire.
