I think Paul Tremblay has made a horror fan out of me. By blending known horror tropes with social commentary, he has created a horror story that is all too real and terrifying - and leaves my mind turning over the story in the best ways. Whether you enjoy horror or not, read this book (and Cabin at the End of the Woods)!

I’m a bit of a genre-reader—horror novels are my jam—and it’s been a long time since a book legitimately scared the hell out me. The final 50 or so pages left me sweating with a hollow feeling in my stomach. Absolutely unexpected; *will* be thinking about it for days. Would totally recommend.
