⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ordered it for Halloween and it came in time. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. The monster is scarier for how little you see of it. A keeper.
Ordered it for Halloween and it came in time. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. The font runs small in this edition. Still worth having on the shelf.
A friend from my book club recommended it. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly.
First order from this shop. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. The dread is in the pacing, not in gore, which is exactly how I like it.
Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. Five stars from me.
❓ Frequently asked questions
