![]() ![]() (what that stands for is one of the mysteries I don't think we got an answer on. They are being raised in a Tower deep in the Michigan woods kept from the world in a school run by D.A.D. Inspection is a dark novel about a group of boys being raised in isolation from the world. I suggest that is the best way to go but if you need more let me tell you about it. I personally had no idea what the book was about, going in totally cold and spoiler free. Know that going in and you'll be a happier reader for it. One of my favorite things about Inspection is that Malerman doesn't answer every mystery. In Death House the children are being isolated from global disease, in Girl with all the Gifts the threat the mystery gives way to a pretty typical but well done classic post-apocalypse event. ![]() It is basically coming of Age horror that is set in a dystopic like isolation, all three feature weird schools. ![]() Very different in how they twist and turn, but this novel feels like it fits in with Sarah Pinborough's Death House or MR Carey's Girl With All the Gifts. Some horror fiction fits into neatly defined subgenres, and Inspection is one I find hard to pin down although there are some novels this put me in the same frame of mind. ![]()
