Arrived quickly and well packaged. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. Belongs in any working kitchen.
A friend from my book club recommended it. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. The font runs small in this edition. Happy enough with the purchase.
Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. Print is comfortable for late-night reading. The monster is scarier for how little you see of it. Gorier than the description lets on, if that matters to you. Still worth having on the shelf.
Grabbed it for a long flight. Print is comfortable for late-night reading. Good introduction if you have not read this author before.
This has been on my wishlist for months. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. The cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
First order from this shop. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Solid, if not essential.
Took a chance on it after reading the description here. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. Already eyeing my next order.
