I'm glad I finished this early this afternoon, if I'd finished it in the evening my dreams would have me in this dark place. Part of why this is more scary for me is that this is set in South Africa, with the people I'm often around believing this deeply, and that it is literally set around my place of work. I know these places, I ride the busses here, I walk these roads.
The story is very strong with complicated characters and push to know what happens next and how it ends.
The only negative I have is there was a section that was so similar to something in the Muti Nation book that seemed as if it was taken straight out of it.
