Ebook About NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"Freaky pleasure...it scratches a nostalgic itch for those who grew up on Saturday morning Scooby-Doo cartoons and sugar-bombed breakfast cereal"--USA Today"Deliriously wild, funny and imaginative. Cantero is an original voice."--Charles Yu, author of How to Live in a Science Fictional UniverseWith raucous humor and brilliantly orchestrated mayhem, Meddling Kids subverts teen detective archetypes like the Hardy Boys, the Famous Five, and Scooby-Doo, and delivers an exuberant and wickedly entertaining celebration of horror, love, friendship, and many-tentacled, interdimensional demon spawn.SUMMER 1977. The Blyton Summer Detective Club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in Oregon’s Zoinx River Valley) solved their final mystery and unmasked the elusive Sleepy Lake monster—another low-life fortune hunter trying to get his dirty hands on the legendary riches hidden in Deboën Mansion. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids.1990. The former detectives have grown up and apart, each haunted by disturbing memories of their final night in the old haunted house. There are too many strange, half-remembered encounters and events that cannot be dismissed or explained away by a guy in a mask. And Andy, the once intrepid tomboy now wanted in two states, is tired of running from her demons. She needs answers. To find them she will need Kerri, the one-time kid genius and budding biologist, now drinking her ghosts away in New York with Tim, an excitable Weimaraner descended from the original canine member of the club. They will also have to get Nate, the horror nerd currently residing in an asylum in Arkham, Massachusetts. Luckily Nate has not lost contact with Peter, the handsome jock turned movie star who was once their team leader . . . which is remarkable, considering Peter has been dead for years.The time has come to get the team back together, face their fears, and find out what actually happened all those years ago at Sleepy Lake. It’s their only chance to end the nightmares and, perhaps, save the world. A nostalgic and subversive trip rife with sly nods to H. P. Lovecraft and pop culture, Edgar Cantero’s Meddling Kids is a strikingly original and dazzling reminder of the fun and adventure we can discover at the heart of our favorite stories, no matter how old we get.Book Meddling Kids: A Novel (Blumhouse Books) Review :
I had plans to read a different book this summer. And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for Meddling Kids.Have you ever wondered how the Scooby Doo gang made the transition to adulthood? Not so well, as it turns out!Ok, so this book isn't really about the Scooby Doo gang exactly, but the allusions to that Saturday Morning source material are clear. They're mostly played straight too, which is a good decision. The author makes this book something more than just a fun ride for grown-up Scooby fans. It explores real questions about childhood trauma and their impact on adulthood, which are relevant even if you don't care much about the source material.Kerri experiences night terrors, Nate is institutionalized, Amy has steeled herself perhaps too much, and Peter is dead from a heroin overdoes. These are the scars affecting our cartoon heroes when we discover them again as adults. Can they find what made them heroes again in order to face off against the monster at the heart of their last case?Speaking of monsters, that's another fun angle to this book. Fans of the Scooby series will remember that, no matter how spooky things got in the case of the week, the supernatural threat was ultimately revealed to be a thief in a costume who had staged an elaborate ruse. What if one time, it wasn't just another guy in the costume? What if the kids stumbled onto a real Lovecraftian horror at one of those old haunted mansions, and the guy in the suit was just a ruse?This thing hits a lot of my buttons. I love Lovecraft. I like Scooby (although I am by no means a super fan), I love monster stories, and I love "returns" stories, where the old gang has to take get back together and remember who they were. In that way, the book is reminiscent of Stephen King's It, which of course has plenty of fans. They'll find a lot to love here too.So far all I've described here is the great concept behind this book. But that means nothing if it's not executed well. Thankfully, it is. Cantero's prose is lively and compelling. Other reviews have cautioned about his unconventional language. I barely noticed this. When I did, I found it delightful. It's a feature, not a bug.What are you waiting for? Go read this thing. I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately it just is not very good. There is never a point where it’s story gets outside of the Scooby-Doo blueprint it is using, but trying to hide.There is also the issue of its lack of a good editor. Throughout the book there are sentences that make little to no sense.“But for the last few minutes the cloudscape was shattering in patches of blue and the sun peeped through in funny angles, creating cool chiaroscuro effects, sparkling off the drizzlewashed amber bodywork of the Chevy Vega and infusing it with supporting character charisma.” Page 40Sentences like this are all over the book. The question has to be asked if the publisher even bothered to read this book before sending it to print.
