Review of 'The Darkness That Comes Before' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
I'm on page 100 of this, and I think I've had enough.It's stodgy, meandering and emptily meaningful. It's full of portentous statements, by the narrator, the characters, and the obligatory quotes from mystic tomes that head up each chapter - almost Discordian, but without the wit.
