![]() Maybe the old fella had recently read about fault lines in Italy? But not Steve Neal. Most people would chalk that up to coincidence. The doctors say it’s presenile psychosis, but Steve’s supernatural suspicions are confirmed when he learns that an earthquake in Roserio, Italy killed two hundred people, just like old Charlie predicted. falling! Oh, God, the people, the humanity!” As grandpa Charlie falls to the ground next to his wife’s grave, he calls out a prediction of sorts. The Tulpa is a story about the supernatural events that occur after Steve Neal’s father-in-law, Charlie, suffers a stroke at Charlie’s wife’s funeral. So strap on your thinking caps because, well, you’ll see. While most Thrift Store Finds specimens can be talked about in a way that bounces around between the different elements that makes it a book, the bits that make up The Tulpa are so vastly different in quality that the old tried and true methods just aren’t going to work on this one. There’s the plot (fine), the characters (fine?), the subtext (*emoji grimace*), and the execution (uh oh). Williamson’s The Tulpa is to break it down into parts. Except the kids are an army of sentences and the student is just me in sweatpants reading paperbacks with only one eye open. It’s time again for Thrift Store Finds, which is kind of like a scene from a 90s movie where all the kids in the classroom are goofing off or sleeping while the one “good” student pays attention. ![]()
