⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Finally got around to ordering this. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. One of my better finds this year.
Ordered it for Halloween and it came in time. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. A keeper.
Not my usual subgenre but wanted to branch out. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. Well worth it.
I read a lot of horror and I'm picky. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. Five stars from me.
Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. Slow burn, but the burn is the point. My only quibble is that the middle third sags a little. Happy enough with the purchase.
Took a chance on it after reading the description here. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. Gorier than the description lets on, if that matters to you. Still worth having on the shelf.
