Time travel, Gargoyle Kings, and Toilet Gun Truthers. This book goes to a level of crazy neither Quinn nor Rob were remotely prepared for.

The nightmare begins anew as Rob and Quinn plunge into the second novel of the Riverdale Ostowverse.
There's a frame-job for murder and, more importantly, a house party. Also the text messages seem to be behaving like some sort of invasive species at this point, taking everything over.
Oh, and we go on a weirdly long tangent about Scott Pilgrim, if that's your thing.

And I learn a new fact about Ostow's body of work that tempts me in a dangerous, dangerous way...

Wow. Looking back at how I described the previous section, I'm having a real "Sweet Summer Child" moment at myself. I derided the first section as " all the nothing these characters are given to do on the morning before the actual story starts happening."
What a fool I was. This section is even longer, and basically only 2 things happen. Holy shit!

Quinn is dragged screaming into the baleful void known to the initiated as The Ostowverse.
We tour the first section of Riverdale: The Day Before, which is all the nothing these characters are given to do on the morning before the actual story starts happening.

THIS IS THE END (for now).

A somewhat unhinged Rob navigates the penultimate set of chapters in this godawful book.
His pain for your pleasure. You're welcome.

I feel like this batch of chapters is a bit more boring than the previous ones, and I can't tell if it's the lack of a Veronica chapter, or if the WEIGHT of having like... half of one thing occur in the plot exhausted the book temporarily.

We get a greater profusion of intercalary/epistolary documents in this chapter set, as something wicked Lodge way comes and Rob loses his shit about timeline stuff.
Enjoy!

All pretense of a format is abandoned as the book tumbles into chaos. Cryptids, prophecies, celebrity name drops not narrated by Veronica, and nearly 100 pages of still not really any plot. Hot damn.
