bailedIt isn‘t often that I bail on a mystery but, although I (barely) made it past the description of a cat being burned alive, the story was too fragmented to hold my interest; coupled with an incredibly dense writing style I bailed at p. 124.
The author “works as a cognitive neuroscientist for the largest fragrance manufacturer in the world”. Should have stuck to his day job.
Too bad, the early film making details were interesting.
pickFinally finished this - very densely packed read but fully of Film history, ancient evil, child kidnapping, a father's search, codes leading throughout Edinburgh's underground. An odd book to put into any category but the blurb is "a gothic nightmare, a love letter to the dawn of cinema, to the ghost-ridden city of Edinburgh, and to the golden age of pulp fiction" starts slow but picks up- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#LibraryHoldList This looks so interesting- searching for the first bit of film is the basic premise- we'll see how that plays out! #TbrList
Believe it or not, this is quite comfortable. 📖
