4.5

This one is darker than T Kingfisher's usual fare, but it works, espcially given the real world setting of North Carolina. This is definitely horror, and when we get into the thick of the horror, it''s fucking spooky. There's still plenty of whimsy and science and anthropomorphic animals. (Vultures!) I love that we get a fat, left-leaning protagonist! Sam is terrific - brave, real, dorky, smart.
