⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Not my usual subgenre but wanted to branch out. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. Belongs in any working kitchen.
This has been on my wishlist for months. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. Solid, if not essential.
This has been on my wishlist for months. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Wanted something for October and it delivered. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go.
Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. The binding held up to being carried around for a week.
Grabbed it for a long flight. Print is comfortable for late-night reading. Would buy from this store again.
