Creepy as hell! A fantastic cult horror with characters you can root for and fear. I generally do not scare easily from a book but there were moments while reading this that I felt genuinely uneasy and wanted to turn on all of the lights in the house. The author does a really good job of interweaving the supernatural evils with the negative history of the town creating the scene as an epicenter of evil. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any horror reader, or any reader for that matter!
I went into this with pretty high expectations. Scanlines was one of my favorite books last year so I was really excited to dive into this one...but I just couldn't get into it. At no point was I interested in or invested in this story or the characters. And it was SO long...I think that was the hardest part for me was that it just dragged for me. There's honestly nothing BAD about it per se...I just personally wasn't into it and didn't get sucked in by the story....and the length just made it a slog for me.
I don't even know where to start about this story. I've read some sprawling, multi-layered books in my life, but this one just had everything. Very well written, fantastic plot and chilling ambience...as Ronald Malfi said about this book, "It whispers." Horror has a home, and its Stauford at Calvalry Hill.

Very very dark book, wish I’d felt a little bit closer to the protagonists.
