'Turn it off, then turn it back on again ' The sage advice IT Department across the globe have been giving businesses since the dawn of the new technologies.

When he finds an odd icon mixed in with the usual filth on the CEO's laptop, against his better judgement, he double clicks it. He is instantly drawn down an odd rabbit hole. One of hideous horrors, strange perversions, and bizarre promises. Something is coming, and it's Carl's job, aided by the unlikely ally of Gerard Medley, to usher in the new regime. His one job now is to TURN THEM OFF AND THEN TURN THEM BACK ON AGAIN, it's what he's best at.He needs to do it quick though, as the servers need rebuilding Reboot: A Cosmic Horror from the dark mind of D E McCluskey, author of The Twelve and Z: A Love Story
This book was... Interesting. I'm pretty sure I've never read anything like this one before, I think I'd remember if I had.
This book gave me a little trouble getting into, but once I did it only took a few hours to read it. It's heavy on the gore and weird, so if that's your thing, you'll love it, I promise.
Reboot is definitely a very nice blend of sci-fi and horror that will keep you turning the pages once you find your flow.
There's one error that I noticed on page 111 (Kindle edition). It might not be much for the normal wired brain, but it confused my dyslexia for a minute honestly (there's a "he his" about a quarter of the page down that should just have the"his" there).
All in all this book is engaging enough for me to give it 4 of 5 Paws. I look forward to seeing what else I can find from this depraved-minded author.
