I picked this book up because it sounded like it would be spooky and dark. The demonic themes are interesting and there are some genuinely shocking moments of horror. However overall I found the books writing style and characters to not be very engaging, or frightening. I also felt like it took much too long to get to the spooky part, which is over very abruptly. I really don’t feel it’s a worthwhile read if your looking for horror.

Love the new life for this folk horror classic, and the production on the book itself is gorgeous

After I read this I watched the movie, which I hadn't seen before. The book is very true to the movie and also really expands on things a lot. It's a good read. It's not, like, life changing literature or anything, but it's a quick spooky read.
