My Ex, the Antichrist by Craig DiLouie
4.0
I’m sure many of us have an ex that we have deemed as the devil, but for Lily, there is no exaggeration there. Drake Morgan turns out to be the actual anti-Christ, come to bring the apocalypse.
Most of the book focuses on the beginnings of The Shivers, a punk band, as they work to achieve fame. However, not all is as it seems, as we come to find out Drake’s true identity.
I’ll be honest, this was weird, it was campy, but it was still wholly enjoyable! It’s told through “tell-all” interviews from the band members and other notable people to their story. It’s reminiscent of Daisy Jones and the Six or The Favorites, and it’s a method of storytelling that I really enjoy! It feels very immersive.
I do wish we had a bit more of the anti-Christ shenanigans, as it felt like more of a side plot to the overall story of the band.
I listened to the audio version, and as with other interview-based stories, it truly shines in this format! The cast of narrators all were great, and there was even a couple snippets of a The Shivers song added in!
Overall, recommend if you want some weird, slightly tongue in cheek horror!!
Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the ALC!!
