One the one hand, it's scary! Deeply unsettling and disorienting (which was incredibly frustrating until I read the afterword), it certainly succeeds as a horror story. But it's also really messy. The afterward by the artists really shed some light on why the timeline was so confusing, and made me appreciate it. But that information would've been way better in the beginning of the book, and the tone was all over the place. Overall, more editing was needed: there are lots of small things that are missed (for example, the myth of Xibalba is barely explained, even though it's significant), and it could have been tighter. Generally a two, but it really did unsettle me so rounded up to three. Total mindfuck in a good way, a sci-fi horror where we’re losing the causality and the boundaries between reality and dreams. If you’ve seen Event Horizon, multiple it by ten and imagine to watch it under the influence of some strong stuff. I’m not saying I understood the story but it’s fascinating. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
NAMELESS tells the story of a down-at-heel occult hustler known only as Nameless who is recruited by a consortium of billionaire futurists as part of a desperate mission to save the world. When Nameless and his teammates inadvertently unleash a malignant soul-destroying intelligence, the stage is set for a nightmarish, nihilistic journey to the outer reaches of human terror.

Nameless is certainly horrific. You can get the blurb on the back of the book or from some non-spoilery review. It has gore, violence, madness and it's unsettling on every page. Conspiracy abounds and the actions of the characters may or may not be futile. But it's not just that. It's brave and creative. There's (quite literal) cosmic horror here and for a change it's nothing to do with HP Lovecraft's creations or Even Horizon copies (though it's probably on the same shelf as the latter).
The story is non-linear, which you either enjoy or you don't. At the end, I wasn't even sure what had happened in some respects, which given the nature of the story, is perfect. ( )
