#Find Him Where You Left Him Dead

[torteen]

“An intense horror-action game—like Jumanji but Japanese-inspired and really disturbing.” —Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Set in a nightmarish underworld, an estranged group of friends return to an evil game to try and save the boy they thought they killed in Kristen Simmons's masterful breakout horror novel, Find Him Where You Left Him Dead. Four years ago, five kids started a game. Not all of them survived. Now, at the end of their senior year of high school, the survivors—Owen, Madeline, Emerson, and Dax—have reunited for one strange and terrible reason: they’ve been summoned by the ghost of Ian, the friend they left for dead. Together they return to the place where their friendship ended with one goal: find Ian and bring him home. So, they restart the deadly game they never finished—an innocent card-matching challenge called Meido. A game without instructions. As soon as they begin, they're dragged out of their reality and into an eerie hellscape of Japanese underworlds, more horrifying than even the darkest folktales that Owen's grandmother told him. There, they meet Shinigami, an old wise woman who explains the rules: They have one night to complete seven challenges or they'll all be stuck in this world forever. Once inseparable, the survivors now can’t stand each other, but the challenges demand they work together, think quickly, and make sacrifices—blood, clothes, secrets, memories, and worse. And once again, not everyone will make it out alive.

Find Him Where You Left Him Dead by Kristen Simmons

"'You're more likely to get eaten by an alligator than die in a plane crash, which is twenty-nine million to one, by the way.'"

Year Read: 2023

Rating: 3/5

About: When they were kids, five friends started a mysterious game called Meido. Only four of them survived. Now in high school, the remaining four are summoned by the ghost of their dead friend to complete the game by dawn or be trapped inside its uncanny Japanese underworlds forever. I received a free e-ARC through NetGalley from the publishers at Tor Teen. Trigger warnings: character death, body horror, gore, captivity, violence, fires, drowning, spiders, neglect.

Thoughts: This is such a great title, isn't it? I would have picked it up based on that alone, but the premise of a horror game really grabbed me. I forget sometimes how hit and miss that trope can be, and it's not my favorite here. The readers don't know the rules because the characters don't know the rules, so there's never any sense about what's working or not working in the "game" or when/why they're going to be punished for breaking the rules. Everything is sort of hastily (and sometimes wrongly) explained after the fact. The game structure ultimately ends up being a bit flimsy, and I feel a little bait and switched into reading what's more like a standard other-world dark fantasy novel.

And we know I struggle with fantasy. It was extra hard for me here because each time the characters "level up," I had to reinvest myself in an entirely new setting with new monsters and NPCs. The chapters are plenty long enough to do this, and Simmons excels at world-building and descriptions, but it didn't stop me from feeling bogged down in all the changes and details. I suspect this has far more to do with me not really being a fantasy person (not even horror fantasy, unfortunately) than anything the novel does wrong. The Japanese folklore elements are really interesting and creatively done, and that was probably my favorite aspect of the book.

The characters are enjoyable and distinct enough, if not terribly memorable. The book relies a lot on their past friendships to ground the group, but given that we're not present for that and they all hate each other now, it's not as effective as it could be. Then there's also the fact that the game makes them randomly start forgetting things, so they suddenly start acting like friends again. There's not a lot of consistent development among the five of them, aside from a couple shaky romantic subplots. I did like the build-up to one character reveal far more than I liked another. It works well the first time, and the second time I was just bothered that everything kept changing. Pick a plot point/setting/backstory and stick with it, please. I suspect most of this would come clear on a second read, but I'm not invested enough for that, nor to continue with the series.

Book Blurb: Four years ago, five kids started a game. Not all of them survived.

Now, at the end of their senior year of high school, the survivors—Owen, Madeline, Emerson, and Dax—have reunited for one strange and terrible reason: they’ve been summoned by the ghost of Ian, the friend they left for dead.

Together they return to the place where their friendship ended with one goal: find Ian and bring him home. So they restart the deadly game they never finished—an innocent card-matching challenge called Meido. A game without instructions.

As soon as they begin, they're dragged out of their reality and into an eerie hellscape of Japanese underworlds, more horrifying than even the darkest folktales that Owen's grandmother told him. There, they meet Shinigami, an old wise woman who explains the rules:

They have one night to complete seven challenges or they'll all be stuck in this world forever. Once inseparable, the survivors now can’t stand each other, but the challenges demand they work together, think quickly, and make sacrifices—blood, clothes, secrets, memories, and worse.

And once again, not everyone will make it out alive.

Review:

A mixture of Japanese folklore and Jumanji with a touch of horror as four friends are forced to play a game that trapped their friend whom they abandoned... yet if they lose they'll be trapped here forever. Four years ago, five friends started playing a game... but only four of them survived. Now at the end of their senior year of high school, Owen, Madeline, Emerson, and Dax begin seeing Ian (their friend who disappeared) and his apparition is telling them to finish the very game they played all those years ago. Now they find themselves restarting the game that got them in this problem in the first place, a very complicated game with no instructions and transports them into a eerie hellscape of Japanese underworlds, facing off against monsters and demons, and trying to solve seven challenges in one night before they are trapped in there forever. Who will survive by the time the clock runs out? This one was a weird one for me, I love Jumani and I love Japanese folklore/horror, yet the combination of both in this story just felt off for me. It was told through various POVs and I just didn't find that I cared much for any of the characters or the story in general. I tried to remain invested but in the end just found myself spacing out. I love horror, and I adore game style challenge horror games but this one just felt very meh. I think if you enjoy very light horror and game style adventure stories, this one might be for you!

*Thanks Netgalley and Tor Publishing Group, Tor Teen for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

I really loved this! Granted, there are not many horror books I don't love, but this one took it up a notch with the Jumanji styled trials mixed with Japanese folklore.

I really enjoyed the four main characters. I feel like each was well-rounded and fully developed in a way that I could easily connect to. This was full of twists and turns that kept me interested along with the fast pacing.

Definitely recommend this creepy read!

Out September 26, 2023!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

Most Anticipated New Book Releases September 2023

Perusing over 200 titles to be released in September, there wasn’t an extensive must-have list for the month, only 5 releases. Many of the titles are horror, I guess in the lead up to Halloween in October? Nearly all the books are debut, or new-to-me authors, with the exception of Kelly Armstrong and ‘Hemlock Island,’ I’ve enjoyed some of her titles in the past, and then subsequent releases…

One thing I haven't seen discussed at all (which doesn't surprise me much) is the part where Charles said "My mum was just quiet"

And the part where she sobbed while he was being belted but she also didn't move, and the way the scene finishes strongly implies that Charles had to take care of himself after

And there are many, many, many reasons why she would have done that and she was stuck in a shitty situation regardless of what she did or didn't do

But you cannot show me this and expect me to assume Charles has uncomplicated feelings towards his mum

#dead boy detectives #meta #charles Rowland #Charles Rowland meta #my meta #Frankly I don't expect to see a lot of stuff about Charles' mum #mostly because i remember the stranger things fics where Billy Hargrove idolized his (often dead) mum #and then it came out that she left him with his violent dad and I didn't see a single mention of his mum in fic after that #(which you know: it's only very minor anecdata! but I would still be surprised to find it wasn't a widespread phenomenon) #10n #dbda meta

had another one of my gaius dreams; this time it was a little transistor-style futuristic awakening spinoff set on a series of floating islands and the impression was that each character had their own little quest but it focused mostly on gaius’. he went on a little date with robin separate from the quest also

#it was a really cool fun dream tbh. the aesthetic of it was really nice #also there was possible new gaius lore to incorporate into my headcanons? #bc his quest started with him going back to the island where he grew up and discovering that everyone was gone/dead #nothing to do with him of course but it was pretty cool and i might keep it #this is getting into my headcanon lore thats been marinating in my head for 10 years but like #when he left his village he probably wasn’t planning on going back ever. thieves outstaying their welcome and all #but there’s a difference between deciding you won’t go back and finding out that you CAN’T go back. yknow #it appeared to me in a dream so it must be true. anyway #the floating island setting has also gotten me thinking about a speculative evolution project about valla’s ecology. could be fun! #tactician's log #awakening #gaiusposting

“Hancock is bad with kids” “Hancock is bad with Shaun” no, well, maybe, but where I was getting at was, the objectively funniest dynamic there that I can think of is that Hancock does, indeed, not know what to do around kids BUT Shaun is super curious because of that and will not leave him alone. Hancock will be looking at sole like “I can’t handle this, i don’t know what to do, get your kid” and Shaun is just like “why do you dress like that? Do you still get sunburnt? Do you like lazer rifles? I like lazer rifles.” Like a cat that sees the person ignoring them and goes up to them for attention. And the funniest response from sole is something like “the sunburn question is rude, Shaun” and then they continue doing whatever they were before saying that.

#emma posts #fallout 4 oc #this is their dynamic. i have decided that #especially because his mom did something similar when acquiring a new dad #and also curiosity obviously runs in the family #I am building on these characters where canon left gaps #especially synth Shaun. obviously #I am not ignoring my youngest child 😤 #or my eldest but he’s dead now and it’s complicated #wait. is codsworth her kid? she made him and sees him as family #that feels different though #the mathison way is just pestering someone (especially with questions) until they at least tolerate you #well. not with EVERYONE. just people they find interesting enough #sort of. i don’t actually know how to explain who his mom decides to befriend/adopt #or reverse adopt. nick is her new dad and it’s not optional #she imprinted like a duckling. she’s in her 20s? doesn’t matter #Hancock is like ‘you’re a parent though and I’m not good with kids. should you really settle for me?’ and she’s like #Shaun will be great with you! the question is will you adapt’ #‘shouldn’t it be the other way around?’ ‘no. you’ve seen me with nick. this family adopts. even when adopted’ #he possibly feels some dread and she continues with ‘we’re family when we decide we are. But can the people we declare family handle us?’ #she is of course saying this increasingly ominously because she finds it funny. it is true though. everything she said. it’s true. #and it’s okay if he doesn’t see you as a dad. just that he accepts you as my partner. at least it’s that way to him and i. I know my kid.’ #her knowing her kid also makes her constantly concerned about him getting into something for having questions. She knows she has. #that’s how she met Hancock in the first place. Piper. I found something crazy. Piper I want answers #and piper was probably like ‘wtf is this blue?’ and sole was like ‘a story’ #so they got in over their heads trying to solve a mystery… sort of? #those two get into all sorts of shit that way #her imprinting was probably part (mostly) trauma. but it happened regardless #I’m making this reblog able now because people find it funny apparently and if that’s all i don’t mind

tav shri’iia is THE canon for me obvi but I also really like the idea of tav wren with yves still being part of the dead three as bhaal’s chosen. the thing with wren is that he was yves’ childhood friend who was pursuing his bard career and severely flopping. one night when he was supposed to escort yves home from the graveyard he chose to perform in some tavern instead, and that night is when the bhaalists came and killed her. for him, one of his closest friends just went missing the night he was supposed to look after her, and when she returns 2 weeks later all beaten up and bloody with no memory of herself ofc he felt guilty….! and he couldn’t even bear to look at her because it’s all his fault u know … if only he didn’t ditched her maybe this wouldn’t have happened so one night he just decides to leave bc he couldn’t take it anymore. it’s always been his dream to be a travelling bard anyway and maybe his career will pick up in some other city than baldur’s gate, so he leaves her and his home and sets out to salvage what he can of his career. and in the most part he was mildly successful. he also ends up making a pact with some fae and they help with his bard career too lol but the guilt of yves is still in his mind- he just got better at ignoring it.

SO. imagine his surprise when he gets tadpoled and goes to moonrise to find a cure and he sees his friend - the girl that’s been haunting his dreams and the source of his guilt and shame - a part of the evil cult that’s been enslaving people with parasites. and now he’s meant to kill her? but how could he when he’s the one who left her behind and maybe it’s his fault that she turned out like this … but anyway I love the idea of wren being like noooo that’s NOT yves she would never do that!! and they’re just like girl ur delusional ur friend is literally chopping people up forcing us to find the parts like some treasure hunt

#but durge era yves is so similar to glados to me where she is so mild about everything and instead of forcing you to test #she forces you to figure out the murder mysteries around the lower city and present ur case in the murder tribunal #like as she says. the only thing better than murder is getting away with it and what’s more fun than to watch someone figure out the puzzle #you set for them u kno 🤭🤭 #and her proposition to ally w her is that she wants u to figure out the whole absolute ploy and how it started and what role she plays #and the only way to get those answers is to break in gortash’s place which betrays his trust … so it’s like a fun whodunit for her..!! #also i think wren finds out what actually happens to her that night .. learning that his real friend died and got replaced with this other o #other one who’s essentially just wearing her skin … reconciling with the truth that if he was with her she would’ve lived … killing this #yves for his friend so she can have some peace finally .. etc etc. it’s really about ween #wren*s survivor’s guilt bc I like to imagine they had another friend who he left with to look after yves #and when he finally returned after how many years he learns that friend has been dead (bc yves killed him) and allegedly yves’ mental #health went downhill when their friend died so she had to be sent away #which in truth she just left for the bhaal temple lol #anyway just thinking abt this three.. def wanna do a wren playthrough one day ..!! #also their other friend’s name is pan (full name xaphan) and they’re a tiefling but idk abt their appearance yet #making them a tiefling so yves’ first kill post lobotomy links back to her og friends where - if #it’s alfira she’s a bard like wren and tiefling like pan … but honestly pan could be Dragonborn too if she ends up killing quill lol #shut up about bg3. #bg3

I don't remember why but I dreamed about looking up the common religions in different regions of Thailand last night

#in addition to like. more regular dreams where someone kidnapped part of our camping/hiking group and I needed to use my knowledge of #dog/wolf behavior to appease a wolf that we needed to pass by to get between two forest clearings and also since my character was a #clean-freak / germaphobe he had the power to have bugs not bother him in the woods and then that all happened twice because ofc we needed to #keep to the story script when it restarted and I had to keep everything on the rails but this time two other wolves also came up and they #all decided I was chill and we left each other alone even while I was de-escalating the kidnapping situation but then the kidnappers started #running away and I was like 'you know what would make them think again? three wolves chasing them' so I got the wolves' attention and #started running and they thought it was some kind of chase game and eventually after a couple times of them catching up with me and thinking #that was it they realized someone ahead of us was also running so THEY were the target and we finally started chasing down the kidnappers #and by this point I was considered part of the pack and also we were in a school gymnasium but right after some sort of fair or assembly so #we had to dodge chairs and tables and stacks of equipment and occasionally children but they mostly kept out of the way #oh and I think after the reset but before the kidnapping there was also a part where one of the other characters (I feel like one of my #siblings was playing this one) insisted that our top priority should be finding clothes and I was like 'wait are you NAKED?' and they were #like 'yeah we all are???' and I was like 'WHAT no I'm fully dressed. my character is wearing a suit and tie! and a hat even!' yeah yeah and #then the kidnappers/bullies came up and one of them was a blond lady with a bolo tie. #btw the reason I'm saying stuff like 'my character'/'was playing a character' is because in this dream it was explicitly characters we were #playing in some sort of game where the focus wasn't roleplay but it had a roleplay-y aspect where the different characters had different #strengths and abilities; such as Betrayal at House on the Hill or Western Legends or Dead of Winter #anyway. IDK why dream-me thought thailand was one of the most religiously diverse places on earth. in real life it's over 90% buddhist. #ThornShadow.said

speaking of cassidy i've finally fixed the problem that i had with his story before

#personal #i initially wrote that ryu (his adoptive father) dies but for some reason it didn't feel right anymore that cassidy just #doesn't have any family left. like i tried to give him a character arc about finding peace with what he Does have #but the thing is that he's had so little for such a long fucking time of his life that it just didn't feel right to me for him to like #find peace in that. find closure with it. because he wouldn't. to be honest. but i didn't want to give him that burden to carry #so ryu survives :^) and he reunites with cassidy much much later in the storyline so there IS still a bunch of years where like #cassidy believes that he's dead but ryu is just being held captive instead. by the gang he used to be a part of #it's been a hot sec since i've yelled about cassidy here but he is still so important to me btw if you even care #and now he gets to reunite with his dad and it's so!!!! ough!!!! because cassidy was never supposed to make it that far!!!!! #the doctors all thought he would die before he would make it to 30 and ryu would've been so scared #but now he gets to see his son all grown up and happy. and loved by so many. married even. explodes

I still want to write a fic about Makoto set after 0 where she goes off the rails because she is a traumatized 21 year old with not a single living connection in the world and now she has 10 billion yen to her name which just spells trouble to me

#when I say she has no living connection I mean bc Majima isn't ever known by her #like I hope she gets comfort at the idea he is out there even if she can't find him #but essentially her brother and Lee and her mum and her grandfather are all dead #She's literally got no one #And I'm supposed to believe she just copes fine with that? #I always had this Makoto Everywhere Idea #where she doesn't leave Kamurocho and Majima keeps seeing her around #and she's driving him insane because shes actively looking for him and he's trying to escape her #he's threatened every yakuza in the city never to say a word unless they want him to go mad dog like he did on the dojima family #even Sera agrees #so Makoto's left smacking random dudes and wandering around doing her investigation #She hassles Nishiki and Kiryu about it- but they're all Oh Um we didn't know the guy #It's just Majima going to get ciggies in the poppo and oh fuck heres Makoto eating a fuckin pork bun #quickly turn around and run away #Oh he feels a bit snackish- why not go grab some takoyaki Oh fuck me it's Makoto Makimura at the takoyaki cart /again/ #He wants to go have some fun- have a drink and a little karaoke #in an Okama bar- Jesus fucking christ Makoto's here and she'd singing HIS song and she's too drunk so now he's worried #But it's none of his buisness... Hmm maybe he can pay one of the nice young guys in there to keep an eye... No thats suspect #You get my vibe? #that's a different story to the one in the body of the post though. #Or Is It 🤨 #Makoto looking for him but being destructive and its driving Majima insane #anyway :)

Honestly, even when I add a new verse for the oc(s) and work them into a still-expanding canon, I like to think their presence in the area/time of the narrative is best justified as essentially them running a B-plot in a sitcom to the main quests/protagonists' journeys. Or like. Half the shit Team Rocket gets up to in the movies-

you know the thing they don't tell you is that if you just keep saying whatever possibilities come into your head, eventually one of them may be correct

#moving my 'playing a game with my friend' saga to the correct gaming tag #maggles gamer moments #u see it may have just been the denial. but when we came across that one guys... place of death. i DID find it suspicious #how there were still uhh... parts of him left. incredibly broken of course but still something. #considering the first one was so very decimated it seems odd that they'd point out that there was still like. an arm and stuff left u know #so if he REALLY isn't dead. i will be very happy and also like Thank you random idea in my head number 12 for being the correct one #ALSO from that thing the guy said before i KNEW it was referring to the library >:) hehe #love games like that where i can guess plot ideas ahead of time but i also feel stupid when it comes to doing the puzzles

I just woke up from.. such a dream that. Was completely unnecessary.

#my posts #my dreams #im. so tired #and bad. #like i was in this place with someone specific and it was close to being a penitentiary? but the people inside #kinda could do whatever they wanted. inside it kinda looked like a multi level/floored garage (hadnt dreamt of those in a while) #and some people were slightly better than others but everyone seemed... bad borderline dead #they had aubstances and guns and whatever they wanted #but also at multiple times we found either the officers that 'took care' of the place who just stood there and smiled and filed in 'changes' #in the place if anything happened. or people like us who were trying to find someone else. lr who had found them and the 'change' happened #also smiling. bc 'it was for the best' #we were doing bad emotionally but we find who we were looking for doing bad physically. slightly made me think of a rabid animal #he did his usual bullshit. the kind that makes you want to keep him away. was it better or worse than irl i don't know #so we. left. slowly. worried. and we hear a gunshot from where he was. we don't go check if that was right. we assume we know what happened #and we keep going from the garage to the proper building. we find an officer do they can in fact or the 'changes' down #someone reminds us it's for the best. nothing else could be a good thing #we are doing between better and worse #and i woke up feeling like shit lmao #also it's only 6 am are you kidding me #.... idk if i can go back to sleep #genuinely what the fuck was that #like yeah it's related to something that's been making me feel very bad lately but come on #also the person here kinda had started appearing in my stress dreams but this is. worse #i.. should try to sleep more but i feel like shit lmao
