This book was exactly what I needed to get me out of a slump. It moves fast, it's a little silly but also a lot creepy, and it's just fun from beginning to end! The characters are so well done, I found myself raging at Mark at the beginning but he did a total 180 by the end. There's a lot of exploration of grief and family here that manages to dig quite deep despite the absurdity of the plot. Hendrix also does gore so well, this is my second book by him and both have totally icked me out which isn't always easy to achieve in writing! Tons of fun, loved the family dynamics, definitely recommend!
