Anyway, this is the second book I have read by him now, and wow. Just wow. This was such a slow and heavy book - definitely not for the faint of heart. A kind of horror that isn't about shock value, or the super crazy twist, or the bloody gory bits. It's about disturbing you down to your core and potentially tapping a part of you you're too scared to look into. Do you really know the people in your life? What secrets could they be keeping from you? Why do we move on from tragic events so quickly? How to we handle grief?
This was a phenomenal book and I highly recommend it for any fans of the horror genre. My only critique is that it is pretty lengthy and could have been cut down a little bit, but that was just my own experience at times. At the end of the day, this book was also about the author's journey through grief. If you are interested in reading the book, definitely take the time to read the short author's note at the end. It brings in a whole new perspective to the story and the author's drive to write this particular story.
