Hoooooboy. That was a ride. It started off like a sweltering, lethargic Alabama summer day—slow, seemingly aimless, the sun pressing you into the earth, something to be endured—but picked up speed and creepiness as it went. By the end it was moving at a terrifying clip, and leaves the reader with more questions than answers… and a heavy dose of unease.
