![]() ![]() I would not last very long at all, with my poor sense of time, fear of the dark and dislike of vulnerability. ‘course, you could also be here in this sequel, more than a decade after the creatures appeared and think “surely i am safe by now,” and risk a peek and OH NOOOOO! there you’d be, long after all the creatures had died or moved on, blindfolded and stumbling through what remained of the world making life harder for yourself for no reason. What breaks MY mind to think about it is that, in a situation like this, the threat could have passed and you would have NO WAY OF KNOWING. This picks up seventeen years later, where survivors are still living behind closed eyes so they don't see any creatures, always at risk of being berserker-murdered by someone else's having seen a creature. when i first read Bird Box, the premise blew me away answering the question, "what if lovecraft was actually scary?" by centering a horror novel around an unfaaathomable beastie, or species of beastie, that broke the mind, driving anyone who looked even indirectly at one into an uncontrollable homicidal and suicidal frenzy, causing.everything that happened in Bird Box. I wouldn't have thought that Bird Box needed a sequel six years later (and 2 years after the disappointing-YEAH, I SAID IT-netflix adaptation), but here we are and here it is and honestly? i thought it was great. ![]() Oooh, goodreads choice awards finalist for best horror 2020! what will happen? ![]()
