Five-star beginning and three-star ending. Will review soon!
Ha Ha. It is the 25th May 2020 - nearly a year and a half later and I never did write this review. So after such a long time my memory of this book is that it is cold, strange and vaguely unsettling as the author appears in the story as himself - and it is a horror novel after all...
I will definitely be rereading this with the first book and maybe just maybe I will have more coherent thoughts on it next time.
So it’s 2024 and I have reread this book in preparation for reading the third in the series.
In addition to what I have said above this book is quite a profound exploration of the loneliness of urban life and the longing for community. Of course, being a horror novel, the actions taken by the leading characters go far to far in trying to alleviate their isolation :)
