Magnum opus. Spent a month eeking out this elaborately imagined, fiercely crafted, really fucking scary masterpiece. Scott Landon is an unforgettable character. Lisey, too, is iconic. The long boy is a fearsome invention. Reads like a literary novel as well as a fantasy/horror - stunning descriptions of Boo'ya Moon and I love Scott and Lisey's interior language. Bask in this! Not for the faint-hearted or broken-hearted.
