3.75/5

In Feeding The Wheel, we are presented a pretty bizarre premise which includes but is not limited to: human sacrifice, a tale of friendship (kind of....) and a giant terrifying wheel. Though it is short in length, it packs a punch, not only with the horror and descriptions included (check trigger warnings if needed) but also with an almost literary description of how a certain situation can change and affect people in such different way, digging through family and social dynamics. Can't finish the review without mentioning the heart-stopping artwork included throughout the book, helped with the atmosphere and immersion a lot.

Thanks to NetGalley and Death's Head Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Michael Boulerice's Feeding the Wheel is a terrifying and absorbing novella about the evolution of a narcissist and the woe that comes to his enablers. A perfect story for these troubling times. Fans of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King will love this!

4.5/5 stars. I read this in an afternoon and enjoyed most of it. I'm not a huge fan of how the story was tied up in the end, but it was satisfying enough and the plot kept me intrigued the entire time. I recommend to anyone that wants an interesting, short cosmic horror. Check trigger warnings if needed.

I made it about 60% in and was bored ti be honest. I reslly enjoyed the ritual parts but I just couldn't get into any of the other parts of the book. I will read this author again in the future sometime.
