Description
John, an unstable detective living in an alternate future, is plagued by hallucinations of a malevolent, shapeshifting entity that haunted his childhood. While he struggles to maintain his grip on reality, he soon discovers that his world is a terrifying illusion designed to make him suffer. Surreal, horrifying, and unflinchingly brutal – enter a world of blood and fear. Enter the Sister Verse.
The Sister Verse and the Talons of Ruin is the first book in a series of four that explores the realms of Lovecraftian horror, epic fantasy, and science fiction through an action-packed narrative of unrestrained psychedelic violence.
This book contains scenes of extreme gore that may be unsuitable for some readers.
Featured Reviews
Darren J, Reviewer
The Sister Verse and the Talons of Ruin by Amelie C. Langolis is a non-stop horror / sci-fi novel following a detective named John Sanders who at first appear to be slowly going insane due to the constant imagery in his mind and the relentlessness of a killer determined to end his life.
As the story progresses, we find he is involved in inter dimensional war taking place across six galaxies only for this to be part of the illusion in which John is living.
The Sister Verse and the Talons of Ruin is gore filled and pulsating, ramping up the excitement from the first page where mental as well as physical violence is prevalent.
Unfortunately, what makes this book so exciting can often be a problem. Scenarios and action filled set pieces seem to be thrown at the reader at an unyielding pace. It is a hugely imaginative book, however, ideas are thrust onto the reader sometimes to an extent that the story does not appear to settle for the reader or even character to take stock.
This is the first book in a planned series of four and I am looking forward to where Amelie C. Langolis is going to take us. Definitely pick this book up for its adrenaline as well as the creativity the writer shows in pulling in all different genres to tell the story.
