DID NOT FINISH

The setting was much more 1950's than the author wanted it to be. The dialogue and characters were all more 2016 than the author wanted them to be. It was just not believable or enjoyable. 

not really creepy, and mr. reverend man was a degenerateā„¢.

I didn't care for the narrator. It may be worth trying reading.
adventurous mysterious medium-paced

Good premise but a disappointing ending
