If you ever wonder what it’s like to have anxiety, read this book! Like they say, so much better than the movie. It immerses you into a world where it’s not safe to see outside and what that feels like and sounds like. Great choice for spooky season!

I think this was a great book but while reading the snippets about the pregnancies and the birthing scene I couldn’t stop thinking about how it was written by a man

The guy at Seekers where I bought this book said it was better than the movie, and boy was he right!  I think the problem is, much of the tension  was because of what was not seen…but in the movie you knew there was nothing there.   In the book..there always seemed to be something..made it oh so creepy.  Great story..well told.
