Reader rating
Took a chance on it after reading the description here. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins.
Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted.
This has been on my wishlist for months. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid. Belongs in any working kitchen.
Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. My only quibble is that the middle third sags a little. Happy enough with the purchase.
