The atmosphere, tension, the sense of dread and the mystery, and the prose were enthralling all the way through. However, this was missing deep characters and character development. I didn't root for anyone or really care about anyone. If you are looking for stron  characters or a protagonist to root for, look elsewhere.

Great atmosphere. Perfect for cosmic horror fans, and just generally existential. I will be thinking about this for long time.
