⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Needed a good scare and got one. The dread is in the pacing, not in gore, which is exactly how I like it. Recommended with reservations.
Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. The font runs small in this edition. Happy enough with the purchase.
Wanted something for October and it delivered. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. Glad I finally picked this up.
Finally got around to ordering this. Slow burn, but the burn is the point. It assumes some familiarity with the genre's tropes. Solid, if not essential.
Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. Slow burn, but the burn is the point. Belongs in any working kitchen.

📖 Who should read this
