⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
The narrative excels in establishing a tense atmosphere within an abandoned shopping mall, transforming a mundane location into a site of supernatural dread. Richard Kadrey effectively merges gothic horror traditions with urban decay, creating a unique backdrop for the hunt for the Qomrama Om Ya. The protagonist's desperate struggle against returning older gods and their followers provides consistent momentum. The story does not rely on complex literary prose but rather on visceral action and survival instincts. It suits readers who enjoy gritty adventures where ancient evils threaten the modern world. However, it may disappoint those seeking slow-paced literary fiction or pure historical horror without contemporary urban elements.
