sooooo fucked up in such a good way. the writing style is AMAZING and works so well in showing you who the characters are and where their heads are at, including and especially when those aren’t good places to be. i do think the last half dragged a bit which broke the tension a bit. overall really good at  bottling that dread and helplessness and despair and rage that the characters are feeling and force feeding it to you. the thread of storytelling throughout is vvv reflective and chefs kiss

Couldn't put this one down. An absolutely harrowing tale of vicious revenge and trauma cycles. An ending so perfect and emotional that I am devastated, absolutely devastated. 

Perfect for fans of horror, both classic and modern. Skillful use of conventions without slipping into cliche, more a respectful nod to the history of a genre that Jones is clearly a fan of as well as contributor to.

I often struggle to write 5 star reviews, words feel inadequate, but please take my speechlessness as the highest endorsement I'm capable of giving.

The writing style just wasn't for me, unfortunately.
