A good horror book to begin with if you're looking for a slow build up to the horrors. There's a sense of claustrophobia with the tight spaces that's navigated in the setting. It left me tense especially with not seeing the puppets firsthand. Just the buildup felt anxiety inducing uncertain if the protagonists would run into the puppets.

A very quick read to get a feel of the horror genre. I expected more from the puppets but the build up and tension did not disappoint!
