The third act was a big surprise that I did not see coming but damn I loved it. Favorite read of the year so far and I hope the next book is coming soon!

A tale of vengeance set before, during and after a major hurricane-House is the most haunted crime novel I’ve ever read. Gabino layers in supernatural lore and unleashes hell when the storm reaches its pitch. It’s wildly engrossing and I wanted more and more. 2/

There’s one movie that’s an obvious comparison, but I won’t mention it in case someone has managed to not be spoiled by all the coverage, but besides surface level plot similarities, Sinners stands on its own. /4

The cast is so damn good and completely disappear into their characters and the world building Coogler pulls off with a bit of dialogue here, an out of left field scene there, makes Sinners one of the most unique viewing experiences you will have had with a film in a long time. /3

And I haven’t even gotten to the writing and directing, which are impeccable. It’s been said the true test of how good a horror movie is, is can it stand on its own if you remove the horror aspect from it. Here, yes, 100%. I was invested in these characters within minutes. /2
