Synopsis

A sentient cloud whose arrogance leads to its own demise. A rich uncle who discovers a possible solution to climate change, but is not who he appears to be. A phantom killer who uses other people (and their cars) to commit murder. Balloons that predict the future. Paranormal investigators at the beach. Wolfmen who hunt bears for sport. A Cinderella story at a retirement home. Celebrities forced to make movies for eternity in a simulated world. A girlfriend who believes we reside in the mind of God. 
Part noir, part humour and part horror (often all three). First Things Last is a book you might have to read twice to find your way out of.

Although I have not read much fiction of late (due in no small part to its diminishing quality) I do still appreciate a bit of slap and chuckle before I settle in for my daily repose (sorry if that sounded dirt......more

Goodreads review by Bandit on October 17, 2023

Ah. I’m the first person to rate and review this book. Naturally, I wish I had nicer things to say. But it just isn’t how reviewing works. For me, anyway. Truth be told, this book just didn’t really do it for me. That is how reviewing works for me. Reading is a subjective experience. I can objective......more
