BOOK REVIEW: Nightmare at Eat Street by David Liew
If you're looking for a brainrot read (as if 6 7 wasn't enough, haha) that includes supernatural characters in a graphic novel, this is a definite pick-me-up. Illustrated and written by our very own Asian author, I found it to be quite creative in many ways.
Now, let's dive into the book. It is rumoured among foodies that there is a unique eatery offering cuisine that is truly out of this world. It's so exclusive that everyone knows of it but nobody has actually been there before - apparently it's that exclusive.
They say that it's a discreet hole-in-the-wall somewhere in the Lesser Yiwill Road area, but all you find there is the unspeakable Leopard Eating House and its generally inedible menu. Whispers suggest that the secret eatery is in the nearby abandoned Great Street.
But they're not rumours. The Eat Street Dining Club does exist - and it does offer fare that defies the human palate. It has to - since its patrons are either undead, reanimated or generally supernatural. When a new resident joins the group, it seems like business as usual. But her presence isn't welcomed by everybody in the Club. The newcomer has a dark secret and it's going to be revealed in an explosive confrontation.
I laughed quite a bit throughout the book with its host of whimsical characters with even more whimsical names. My personal favorite was Gracie, the child skeleton, who's headstrong and has better instinct than even a human would. Great read and even greater laughs!
