Thank you to Cemetery Dance for providing a review copy.
I don't know why it took me so long to read a John Mantooth book, but I'm so glad I did. This book is everything I love about literary horror. The prose is absolutely beautiful, the characters were so well-drawn. Most of all, it made me feel emotions - dread, sadness, hopeful. I will be reading as many John Mantooth books as I can get my hands on.
