⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Been meaning to get this one for a while. Genuinely unsettling in places, and it earns it without cheap tricks. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Added this to the shelf next to the ones I reread. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. It assumes some familiarity with the genre's tropes. Still worth having on the shelf.
Was skeptical at first. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. A couple of the side characters are thinly drawn. Good, with the caveats above.
Was skeptical at first. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. Belongs in any working kitchen.
Wanted something for October and it delivered. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. The dread is in the pacing, not in gore, which is exactly how I like it. Good, with the caveats above.
