Hotel Flamingo
on Dec. 18, 2010
Hotel Flamingo is like 22 Clive Barker books all trapped in the same building together, and I mean that in the best possible way. Each bite-sized chapter tells the story of one of the hotel's guests or staff and each one of them is satisfyingly weird on its own -- sometimes creepy-weird, sometimes funny-weird, sometimes just-plain-weird -- but taken together they're much more. Like interlocking puzzle pieces they click together as you read them, until you find yourself holding something entirely unexpected.
