(pb; 2016: novella)
From
the back cover
“. .
.Set in 1986 rural Oregon, Starr Creek
features heavy metal teens, Christian biker gangs, and hopped-up kids on
three-wheeled ATVs. They all collide when strange occurrences unveil an alien
world inhabiting the Oregon woods.”
Review
Starr Creek is a fun, fast and solid read. It is
a heady mix of sketched-out characters, Satanism, biker violence, strange
aliens, heavy metal, street drugs and Oregon-style weirdness. Other reviewers
have mentioned how the writing─especially the climactic ending─feels a bit
rushed. I can see why they might feel that way, but I was okay with it. Given
the swiftness of the events, the ending still works, as does this novella.
Above-average and worth owning, this.
