Cosby is such a talented author and his books never disappoint. In comparison to others, this one wasn’t my favorite although I can’t pinpoint a specific reason. I did feel like this book focused more on the community than individual characters, which was cool. It’s always rare to find a book that you can call the town a character and have it done well and this is one of those cases.

I rather enjoy a Christ-haunted psychological terror type novel and this was very solid. Great writing,plot, setting.... Very unsettling but beautifully written!
