The endorsement by Sherman Alexie on the cover should be enough to convince me I'm about to read something great. Yes, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer was well-written, funny, and highly entertaining. It had ghosts, witches, re-animated heads of teenage girls, Baltic cat-dragons, were-hybrids with Irish Gaelic names, and a zombie panda. Lish McBride made an increasingly tiring paranormal genre feel fresh. BUT, chapter 21 was titled "Make A Little Birdhouse In My Soul". They Might Be Giants references get automatic 5 star love from me.
