12.26.2025 - Pam Kowolski is a Monster

Pam Kowolski Is a Monster! by Sarah Langan 

Many thanks to NetGalley and RDS Publishing | Raw Dog Screaming Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this short story by Sarah Langan.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Janet Chow didn't have a positive experience in high school, and her college journalism plans were thwarted by a bad recommendation.  Over two decades later, she's stuck.  Then she sees her high school enemy on TV - Pam Kowolski - and she's a very successful online psychic.  How did this happen?  Janet knows she is lying about her powers and sets out to write an expose.  But she'll have to go deep into her past, and that's scary indeed.

This was a wild book and I was there for all of it!  As soon as I saw that cover and title, I knew I had to read it   I've loved Langan's last two books and this was no exception, although it's quite different.  But she still excels at delving into the human personality.  This book centered on past trauma and how it shapes our memories and lives, as well as friendship.  It was full of dark, snarky humor, which I always like, but heart too.
