Review : The Swansong Conspiracy by Nick Vossen
Weirdness is in their blood.
After a near cataclysmic worldwide event shook the foundations of society and unleashed numerous supernatural hazards onto the Earth, twins Quincy and Lilly just want to lead their lives as normally as possible. However, this proves to be quite difficult. The twins are the heirs of legendary horror writer and occultist W.A. Swansong, who has been declared a prophet now that many of his gruesome creations appear to really exist.
When a mysterious inheritance falls into the twins’ hands, a strange and violent secret organization becomes hell-bent on finding them. Quincy and Lilly are forced to flee their hometown of New Orleans, leading them on a wild, supernatural chase throughout the southern United States. With only a handful of allies and a trapped Fire Vampire named Tim, the twins uncover a great mystery tied to their inheritance, the source of all pandemonium, and even the true origins of mankind.
This novel however, is a masterpiece. That’s really the only way that I can describe it. It’s hilarious, both in the prose and in the plot. The characters are good and there is enough interesting concepts and plot points to keep you interested throughout. Overall it’s just an extremely pleasant and comforting book. It’s like the novel version of chicken noodle soup, for me at least.
However, it’s also extremely thought provoking, with some pretty cool thoughts on humanity and the abondentment of mankind by god's.
It’s just one of those books that you know that you’ll always love and is easy to recommend to others, no matter their taste in books. Honestly, I like it so much that I don’t want to write that much about it here. I want people to go into it blind, so they can enjoy it like I did. I cannot recommend this novel enough, so if you haven’t read it yet, do yourself a favour and go out and grab a copy! Do it now!
