I got this book without knowing anything about it except that it looked like an IKEA catalog! I thought the supernatural elements were well thought-out and drew on horror tropes that are popular for a reason. And I love how Grady Hendrix writes gore!!! Amy’s (and Basil’s!) character development was a highlight for me and I thought she was a perfect horror lead. Also, always a fan of a creative format for a novel so major points for the illustrations and product descriptions as well!

Creepy and haunting with a good epilogue. The concept for the book is (chef’s kiss).
