Fires, by Nick Antosca

Conceptually, right up my alley: A novel about wildfires revealing the horrifying, hidden secrets of a quiet suburban neighborhood. It didn’t quite work for me, though. Too many metaphors, not enough plot, too much obsession with dysfunctional sex and tortured relationships. Though it dragged on, I’m curious to see where Antosca goes.
