⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Needed a good scare and got one. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. A keeper.
I read a lot of horror and I'm picky. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way.
Added this to the shelf next to the ones I reread. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Needed a good scare and got one. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. Definitely recommend.
Ordered it for Halloween and it came in time. The monster is scarier for how little you see of it. Belongs in any working kitchen.
Added this to the shelf next to the ones I reread. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid. Would buy from this store again.
