it was amazing
bookshelves: 2019-read, family-drama, horror

Now that was a horror novel! Dangggg, I am shook to the core by Ania Ahlborn's Brother . What a sick, twisted, and demented story�and I loved every second of it!

Michael Morrow lives in a secluded farmhouse, buried into the woods of West Virginia, and he lives with his parents Claudine and Wade, his sister Misty, and his brother Ray (nicknamed Rebel). The Morrow family leads a very unconventional life, and they typically keep to themselves. However, there's moments that the family likes to dabble in grotesque forms of survival—whether that includes crime, theft, or murder. The family thrives on conning innocent people so they can get by, but Michael doesn't share the same interests as his family. Michael does not have the same cannibalistic desires and the taste for murder that his brother and parents do—and that will work against him. As Michael gets older, he wants to escape the world that he's living in, and when he meets Alice at a record store, he may just do that.

Ok, wow.

Brother holds NOTHING back in terms of horror and shock-value. If you are triggered by violent crime and rape, please make sure to skip this book. That being said, I was glued to the book like a moth to a flame. I could not put this book down even if I tried. It was scary, realistic, and utterly sinister. At times, I even caught myself cringing more than I ever have with a book, and that shocked me. I loved this story, and even had a nightmare last night after I fell asleep. That's the key to writing an amazing horror story, and I cannot wait to dive into Ms. Ahlborn's previous works. I think I found a new favorite author.

Lori, this book is so intense, and amazing! Enjoy.


Sheri Just finished this book today and am literally stunned. Wow. Also reading the comments above and that episode of the X-Files with the Peacock brothers still creeps me out to this day. It will take some time to get over this book.

I still think about this book from time to time. Nuts, right?!


Sheri Very nuts. I've heard Seed is even better if that's possible and so I'll be reading that soon. Ahlborn instantly became one of my favorite authors.

I heard The Devil Crept In is also good! Geez, we're going to be busy with all these books!


Sheri Thank you Dennis. Her writing is so exquisite I can't wait to read all of her books. Happy Reading.
