That being said, I am glad I read this. LaRocca exhibits technically-skilled writing, compelling style, and a cohesive voice, a combination that makes for a powerful, even formidable storyteller. I would recommend his work to fans of dark, reflective fiction and horror that seeks to reflect and linger rather that titillate and dissipate.

I think that this is worth the read if you are looking to get into more intense horror, but it’s far from a masterpiece. I’m seriously not joking about the animal death, though.
