The Summer I Died by Ryan C. Thomas

4.0

Gruesome Summer

If you want beautiful prose and many multifaceted characters, look elsewhere.

If you want a horrifying thriller with grotesquerie and simple, yet descriptive prose this is your book. Be forewarned: there is a lot of bodily torture.

Although the author doesn’t write with the fanciest syntax or vocabulary, I could visualize every scene and felt like I was there —for better or for worse.

3.5 stars. Recommended for those with stronger stomachs and a knack for tortured-captives-in-the-woods type books.
