Look, I get why people don’t like this very much. But it’s wonderful. It’s a Mike Flannigan show in book form. It’s slow until it’s not, the writing is beautiful, the tension simmers until we get to the explosion and action in the last third. It’s not a fast passed horror but a beautiful, scary meditation on grief and place (while still being genuinely scary).
