the cabin at the end of the world review

The story follows the two dad’s, Andrew and Eric and their adopted daughter Wen. In this readers opinion, Tremblay does it masterfully. ‘The Cabin at the End of the World’ is another book in that seemingly post-apocalyptic style where something major is happening in the macro, but the story focuses on the micro.

‘Foe’ by Iain Reid,’ ‘Night Train’ by David Quantick and ‘Armageddon House’ by Michael Griffin immediately jump to the front of my mind. Those books that create a sense of anxiety and dread from page one, all the while you never know just what is happening in the larger world around them. What I liked: Recently, I have fallen in love with the seemingly sparse detailed books. Tremblay’s book, which won the Best Horror Novel Award in the 2019 Bram Stoker Awards. Which is how I approach every book, no matter what I’ve heard. He’s always insisted I should read this book and give it a fair shake. On Twitter he is known as Book Monster aka sshh_ImReading aka the world’s biggest Tremblay fan. In my own social media bubble, I’ve developed a friendship with George Rason. Someone will ask what people thought of it and there will be several hundred responses ranging from BEST BOOK EVERRRR!! to HATED IT!! Over on Facebook, it’ll often be brought up on the Books of Horror group.

‘The Cabin at the End of the World’ is a book that I see a lot of chatter about. More often than note, I go in by briefly reading the synopsis or having someone comment or message that if I liked X I would probably like Y. Very rarely do I go into any books with any sense of trepidation.
