There is an overarching element of horror to the story, which seems obvious when you know you’re walking into a book about monsters.
At first these threw me off, as they feature an alternate timeline and location, however, as you read more of the script you start to understand their presence in the story and how they link to real-world events.Ī COSMOLOGY OF MONSTERS is not a book that I would place in any one single genre. At the end of each section there is also a section featuring a script. There are at times large time shifts between the parts, which helps to accelerate the story much faster into present-day Noah and how he came to be writing the story of his family.
While the narrative is coming from Noah, as mentioned before, it is broken into parts that are essentially dedicated to specific family members or events from the family’s history. The structure of this story is uniquely assembled.
Pain and death are real, but so are love, and family, and forgiveness. …life makes monsters of everyone, but it’s always possible to come back. He has a true sense of honesty for those around him as well as himself. I loved getting to know everyone through Noah’s eyes. This gives the reader a unique connection to Noah as we experience not only how he views himself, but also how he views his family’s history. We actually aren’t introduced to Noah until later into the book when he is born, as the book launches with how his parents meet. I’ve kept the synopsis vague because I feel that it’s a story that needs to be experienced without too many hints to what may happen.Īt the core of this book is Noah Turner, who is telling us the story of his family. It is also a story of family interaction and how everything we do impacts those around us. This is the real magic.Ī COSMOLOGY OF MONSTERS is part horror, part speculative fiction, and part fantasy. At the center of this tale is Noah and his monster and how their relationship affects the rest of the Turner family. This is the story of an outside force impacting the fate of a family. The themes within this exhibition have in equal measure brought the Turner family wealth and happiness while also tearing them apart. He went on to build an entire immersive horror experience called The Wandering Dark as an homage to the monsters he saw. He sees monsters and has befriended one for many years.
Noah Turner has a secret he has held close since he was a young boy.
