Mark and I watched the movie on Netflix last week so I had to give this a read. Of course, the book was better, it takes place in Connemara, Ireland, where I can believe fairy, fae and all things mythological might be from, not here in the USA like in the movie.
I love the overall spooky vibes both the book and movie give off without all the blood and gore most have now
