Oooh another mind bender from Hamelin Bird and talk about packing in quite the punch in this novella.
Thank you to the author for sending me a copy
DRENCRoM by Hamelin Bird (Released May 4th, 2023)
Book Description:
Driven from home at eighteen, Coda has indulged a rambling, hippie-soul existence.
Now in sunny California, those freewheeling days are long since behind her, with no promises of a better life ahead. But her fortunes begin to change when she drops a new kind of drug bought off the dark web, her consciousness shattered as something sinister takes root from within, threatening to claw into our world.
Entangled in the lives of her neighboring tenants, Coda struggles to maintain her sanity while her mind expands into the greater beyond, thrust into a dread-spiral of madness as she plunges into the insatiable grip of DRENCROM .
My Thoughts: 5/5 stars
DRENCRoM is a hard to get drug, and Coda is determined to get her hands on it. When she does, because the dark web gives you access to just about anything you could dream of, what follows is one hell of a trippy, gory, what the fuck did I just read fever dream. I loved every second of it. At under 150 pages, this is a quick and exciting read. Never did I think I’d write the words shit-gremlins in a review, but here we are! You’ll have to read it to find out why!
Another genre bending ride. Bird is able to create such rich characters that jump off the page, all while giving us a memorable read full of mayhem, some body horror, and a batshit crazy fun time.
