"A surreal excursion into heartache and horror narrated by a man undone by grief . . . Along with allusions to Rod Serling and The Exorcist, there are shades of H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, zombie literature and, at least once, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . . . You don't want to read this book right before bed." â??Sarah Lyall,The New York Times Book Review "This intense cosmic horror with a touch of Mexican American folklore is incredibly creepy and moving." â??Margaret Kingsbury,BuzzFeed It was Vera's idea to buy the Itza. The "world's most advanced smart speaker!" didn't interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo. It made things worse. The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the houseâ??who ordered industrial lye? Then there was the eerie music at odd hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty room. It was funny and strange right up until Vera was killed, and Thiago's world became unbearable. Pundits and politicians all looking to turn his wife's death into a symbol for their own agendas. A barrage of texts from her well-meaning friends about letting go and moving on. Waking to the sound of Itza talking softly to someone in the living room . . . The only thing left to do was get far away from Chicago. Away from everything and everyone. A secluded cabin in Colorado seemed like the perfect place to hole up with his crushing grief.

whitsunweddings: Moreno notes in his acknowledgements that he read Come Closer four times while working on This Thing Between Us, and they're also both just really good books.
Ridiculous story, spellbinding prose. Read it all in almost one sitting. It was the first time in a while I’d gotten so sucked into a book. The beginning made me very emotional, but it got progressively sillier and sillier in its mishmash of horror elements until I couldn’t tell what sort of book I was reading anymore.
3.5/5 stars. The craft gets it this rating. I probably wouldn’t read this book again, but I’d pick up another Gus Moreno book in a heartbeat. ( )
I wish there were at least 5 more pages to the resolve. Leaving things to the readers brain is always a favorite of mine. Dont spoon feed me, and dont explain everything away. This is a deep story with super weird elements. There were some nice spooky moments, and I liked that Thiago wouldn't just take things for face value. If you liked the tone of Our Share of Night, then you'll like this one too. ( )
This book made me almost weep in public. It was creepy and dreadful. The characters were realistic, people you connected with. Their suffering and struggles sucked you in. It was a painful read. 10/10 ( )
An unsettling little horror that not only deals with supernatural and surreal happenings, but with the aftershocks of trauma and loss.
It's hard to describe this novel as anything other than a mix between Stephen King's early books (think The Shining-meets-Cujo-meets-Pet Semetary) and The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. I appreciated how the narrative was written as a monologue Theigo's wife, Vera, which adds to the novel's intensity and eeriness. For being a horror, it's an oddly emotional read that leaves you a bit heartbroken and uneasy. ( )
