Humour meets the otherworldly in The Cain Consequence.
As a concept, The Cain Consequence is the phenomenon where large groups of people misremeber the same given thing in the same way. (Not to be confused with our Mandela Effect.)
Thank you to Hellbound Books for my ebook for review!
The Consequence is named for Barclay Cain, a famous occultist who tried to bring his wife back from the dead, and inadvertently shifted elements of reality.
TV actor Rex Dolan, witch Julia, plus Bubby and Stu (eventually known as The Malevolent Four) are in search of Haunted Land and Barclay himself.
The Lands are many, ie. Church Land, 80s Land (mayor Tiffany Gibson), Motivational Speaker Land, Senior Citizen and Millenial Lands, PC Land, Porn Land (treasurer Woody Hardon), TV Land, Vegan Land (formerly Texas, eek).
Author Sal Cangemi has gone all out on this book.
It's a quick, manic, nasty, and action-packed read, and I very much enjoyed all the pop culture nods. I'll admit I didn't always know what was happening, but it really didn't matter. It also wraps up with a great ending.
The Cain Consequence was full of entertainment, and I recommend it for something completely different.
