I just realized I never finished posting my “2015 Favorite Reads” series, with this “favorite things from prior years I only just read in 2015” lingering in the queue. Better to post this relatively late, as we approach the 2016 mid-year mark, than not at all. So then…
One of my favorite reads of 2015 in the “books published in previous years but first read in 2015” category was The Last Horror Novel in the History of the World by Brian Allen Carr. This one came out in 2014 from Lazy Fascist Press, but I was slightly late to the party. This is a brief but very unusual and disturbing book, which is also at times funny. I think more people should check this out.
On Goodreads I wrote:
Wonderful and strange sort-of-apocalypse story set on the Texas border, brief and powerful and so very well written. Brian Allen Carr is someone I need to watch.
