In the story, people start seeing “something” that drives them to madness, murder and suicide. The book follows the story of Malorie and her two children as they try to navigate a world that was overcome with a scary phenomenon. This book is an example of a perfect blend of suspense and horror mixed in with drama and that dystopian vibe. This is one of the books that have been slowly collecting dust in my bookshelf and I am glad I finally picked it up. This time, I chose horror as it’s been a while since I last read one. The only difference is that in the latter they can see where the attack will come but in the former, no.Īfter finishing Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, I decided to move to another genre. In both the Bird Box and The Walking Dead, the characters have to always be on alert, should not let their guards down and be sensitive with their surroundings because they never know when or where the attack will happen. In a Quiet Place, it’s the noise that people avoid doing whilst in The Bird Box, it’s seeing. Reading this book gave me that same eerie sensation that I felt while I was watching A Quiet Place and that same thrilling excitement while watching The Walking Dead. ![]() ![]() These words best describe Bird Box by Josh Malerman. ![]()
