Deep breath: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

This book is excellent horror, and I may need some recovery time to repair my shattered nerves. Jesus Christ on a waterski.

This author has kinda been on my horror radar in the same way Joe Hill's stuff was (which I also ended up liking when I got around to reading it), but I've never read anything else by him. After finding the opening of the book a bit hard to get into, I was absolutely riveted once it got rolling. I had a few logistical and plot issues eventually, but on the whole I really loved it a lot.

I went into the book with very little idea of what to expect and I liked reading it that way, but it is definitely intense.

This part is not too spoilery - nothing that isn't in the first couple of chapters and the blurb - but cut for heavy content and also in case anyone wants to go in completely unspoiled )

Everything else I have to say about the book is a potentially book-ruining spoiler. I suggest not reading the following if you plan to read the book and like surprises.
