Wilthaven is the most recent release by Oli Jacobs and one that I enjoyed very much. This one is a collection of investigative notes, journals and other evidence eluding to a town called Wilthaven which does not appear on any maps.
Something is happening in Wilthaven, something older than the world as we know it, but what? You’ll need to read the book!
This is very well written with a selection of different tones throughout, something which is not always easy to bring across in literature. Although parts of the story are bleak, there is also a humourous element to the book and the balance is spot on.
The use of old gods and the style parts of the book are written put me in mind of authors M R James and Lex H Jones, both of which are very talented writers of horror, ghost stories and elements of Lovecraftian Mythos.
I would absolutely recommend this book and indeed much of Oli Jacobs’ work, I think it is easy for talented authors to fly under the radar sometimes and this is one such author I would like to see fully on the radar. With a great range when it comes to subject matter, it seems Jacobs can turn his hand to most things with a darkly humorous tone so there should be something for most readers in his back catalogue.
Very interested to see what comes next!
