Pearl by Josh Malerman

Pearl by Josh Malerman was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. This novella is being re-released for the mass audiences. Pearl is a pig, at least in appearance and mannerisms. Is it mean, is it psychic or even [possibly a demi god? That's what Josh leaves the reader to figure out as we go through this 1970ish creature feature/possession type book that has little to no down time, meaning those of use with short attention spans don't get lost in mind numbing "talk," This is my favorite Malerman book and I cannot recommend it enough with fall and the Halloween season approaching, certainly give it a read.
