Book Tour Review Family Curse Field Notebooks 1880-2020 by Tenacity Plys

I was given a copy to review via Love Book Tours as part of their book tour. My reviews are always honest and all opinions are my own. #FamilyCurseFieldNotes #TenacityPlys #LoveBookTours #BookTourReview #BookTour   #BookReview #LBTCrew

Family Curse is a brilliant ‘horror’ novella that gave off House of Leaves vibes from the off and I adored it. Found in notebooks and told via post-it notes and journals over several years with different family members and ancestors we have to try and piece together the story to solve the mystery…Unfortunately when the novella finishes we are still not sure if any of the narrators are telling the truth.  The characters we meet are Virgil -in 2020, Virginia in 1993, Mortimer in 1965 Sila in 1880.

It certainly has spooky elements and that uncanny feeling as we learn more and more about the family curse and what each person has found or believes and while Virgil is not sure what they believe and puts not stock in the idea of faeries or aliens slowly they begin to find weird occurrences that they just cannot explain.

While adored this book I really did wish there was more. The writing style and format as I say is slightly reminiscent of House of Leaves and leaves us with a lot more questions as well as some questionable answers. I will definitely be reading more by Plys and hope we might revisit the Family Curse story at a later date.
