Not what I was expecting. Starts a little slow to build on characters but back half of the book is fast paced.

Death is a theme, partial phantasm and folklore

This book blew me away…This is a masterclass in writing that imbeds dread into your bones and causes horror so profound that you can’t do anything but silently scream. Chilling. I could write a whole dissertation on how awed I am by this book.
