The story falls apart a little bit at the end at the reveal that there is no larger supernatural horror, but just one psychopath Stevens and his psychopath friends. And they were all pretty easily defeated.

But it misses the mark in a two main ways that stop me from giving it the full five stars. I felt like the book flip flopped on
I think I'm going to reread this book at some point in the future, maybe next winter when the winds really being to howl, and reassess how I feel about it.
