Jigglyspot and the Zero Intellect: An Addictive Horror Novel by P.D. Alleva, P.D. Alleva

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

600+ pages fly by in this horror novel that is as if IT by Stephen King was told from the perspective of Pennywise!!

This novel is so ambitious, and it also pulls off every single scare, jump, and otherwise horrifying feature that is promised. One of the first things I learned about this book is that our main character is probably not one that we can trust. That's important. Every single character within this novel has their own motives and driving factors and that is one of my favorite things about this book. I didn't know who to trust, I didn't know who was innocent and I didn't know if it mattered. However, this book sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. I think it will do the same thing to you. This book feels quickly paced despite being a larger novel. The short chapters from the perspective of each character ensure that you feel like the story is flying along even though it's over 600 pages.

This talks about clowns. Clowns are one of my favorite scary features and Jigglyspot did not let me down. He is horrifying in a Pennywise-esque way, but because we get his perspective it's even more scary. You know exactly where his morals lie.

Let's talk cosmic horror. This book is ambitious as I mentioned before, but in addition, the cosmic levels in most books I read - don't always live up to their promise. THIS BOOK DID!! There is so much to love surrounding cosmic horror that I think readers are going to love it.

All in all, check this book out because it's so good and you're going to love it.

This was a fun fast paced adventure that adds to an already thrilling game! 

Josh Reynolds has created a fun and adventurous tale. I really enjoyed this story and I think that most thriller and horror readers will enjoy it too! The characters are fun and fleshed out keeping you invested in every move that they make. 

Things I loved: 
-Westlake’s character arc from criminal mastermind to misunderstood antihero was a great ride start to finish. 
-The description of the zombies was graphic and gory. Exactly what I live in my zombie stories. 
- Sayers is a fun character that I want to know more about now. Her motives are so unique and fun. 


All in all this story is a quick and even scary story. Give it a read!
