Bad Glass by Richard Gropp

Totally my kind of book. The military has sealed off Spokane and the rest of the world isn't sure why. Aliens? Plague? Experiment gone wrong? Our narrator, a photographer in the making decides to sneak in and photograph the weirdness.

Very much like an Xfiles sort of story - weird things like spiders with human parts growing out of them, dogs with hands, distorted time, disappearing people, mysterious graffiti. All sorts of weird things happen. I was totally with the author, invested in finding out what was causing the weirdness, investigating right along Dean.

Until the very end.

What, Mr. Gropp?? Seriously? That's the ending you decided to go with after that gorgeous, slow crescendo of ultra weird with much mystery and a bit of paranoia tossed in for good measure?

So, loved it other than the last few pages.

Due out in September 2012.
