Summary
From the authors of the number-one New York Times best seller Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality and creators of the internet’s most-watched daily show, Good Mythical Morning, a thrilling and darkly funny novel about two best friends fighting the sinister forces at the heart of their Southern town.
It's 1992 in Bleak Creek, North Carolina, a sleepy little place with all the trappings of an ordinary Southern town: two Baptist churches, friendly smiles coupled with silent judgments, and a seemingly unquenchable appetite for pork products. Beneath the town’s cheerful façade, however, Bleak Creek teens live in constant fear of being sent to The Whitewood School, a local reformatory with a record of putting unruly teens back on the straight and narrow - a record so impeccable that almost everyone is willing to ignore the mysterious deaths that have occurred there over the past decade.
At first, high school freshmen Rex McClendon and Leif Nelson believe what they’ve been told - that the students’ strange demises were all tragic accidents. But when the shoot for their low-budget horror masterpiece, PolterDog, goes horribly awry - and their best friend, Alicia Boykins, is sent to Whitewood as punishment - Rex and Leif are forced to question everything they know about their unassuming hometown and its cherished school for delinquents.
Eager to rescue their friend, Rex and Leif pair up with recent NYU film school grad Janine Blitstein to begin piecing together the unsettling truth of the school and its mysterious founder, Wayne Whitewood. What they find, with Alicia's life hanging in the balance, will leave them battling an evil beyond their wildest teenage imaginations - one that will shake Bleak Creek to its core.
This Audible book includes an exclusive interview with Rhett and Link, conducted by Stevie Levine, host of the Good Mythical Morning recap show, Let's Talk About That. In this conversation, Rhett and Link dive into their childhoods in Buies Creek and how they influenced their lives and writing.

What a wonderful story written by the Mythical Masters them selves! I'm not a typical novel person, but I love this book!

A mythical adventure
This was a fun read, the narrator really nails the characters from the start. Mythical beasts of all ages will enjoy this adventure and be pleading for more.
There is also a fun Q&A at the end with Rhett, Link, and Stevie.

Pleasingly surprised!!
Funny, heartwarming, sinister and spooky. You wouldn't expect a book written by YouTubers to be as good as this is. Loved it!! Ben is by far my favourite character.

Funny and disturbing in equal measure!
Like anything you’d expect from Rhett and Link, The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek is filled with lots of humour and great observations on life. But this story also has a much darker side, and ends on a really creepy note. So much so I’ve just told my husband he needs to read it pronto so that I have somebody to discuss it with!
The narration is brilliant and easy to follow, and the story flows so well. I listened to it over the course of a few days and will be listening to it again in the near future I’m sure.

Sweet, Chilling, Thrilling
Sweet and chilling. Not a dipping sauce, but my description of this fantastic thriller about immense evil in a small town.
LOVED
I loved almost everything. The following are the highlights.
- This is a classic tale of good versus evil with a solid, creative premise.
- In a story told through the eyes of children, I found their perspectives funny, charming, annoying, heartbreaking and, above all, impressively authentic.
- The tone overall achieved a delicate balance between creepiness and humour.
- Vikas Adam has that comforting, wry “Wonder Years” quality as the voices of Rex and Lief.
COULD HAVE LOVED MORE
Rex and Lief. This is in no way a criticism, rather exasperation at the thought processes of 14 year old boys.
SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO...
This was advertised as perfect for fans of Stranger Things. Spot on.

Unexpectedly Brilliant
Surprisingly great read. Very enticing, great character development and especially good if you are already fans of the authors. I am already a fan but hadn’t expected their novel to be as good as it was.
Best comparison would be Stranger Things crossed with Hot Fuzz.
Highly recommend!

Loved it!
I'm a huge fan of Rhett & Link, and after hearing so much about it I decided I wanted to read this book, but I decided I would listen to it instead as I do a lot of driving, and I'm also not a huge fan of reading (I get easily distracted)
I was gripped from the beginning, the story is brilliant and lets you fall in love with the main characters, and sends you on a story with humour and unforseen twists.
I really hope there will be a second book!
