⭐ Reader reviews

Grabbed it for a long flight. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. Great value for what you get.
Arrived quickly and well packaged. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. Gorier than the description lets on, if that matters to you. Solid, if not essential.
Got it as a gift for a friend who loves the genre. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. Well worth it.
Not my usual subgenre but wanted to branch out. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. Belongs in any working kitchen.
Took a chance on it after reading the description here. It pairs well with the classics it is clearly in conversation with. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. If you like this kind of cooking, don't hesitate.
Took a chance on it after reading the description here. The monster is scarier for how little you see of it. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. The font runs small in this edition.
Grabbed it for a long flight. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. One of my better finds this year.
❓ Frequently asked questions
📖 Who should read this
