Picked this one up because it sounded nuts and I love some weird horror. Bullet Tooth definitely delivered the horror, but the real beauty is in the characters.
Each and every main character was wonderfully written. I loved seeing how their unique personalities, pasts, and goals intersected as Bullet Tooth started pulling the strings.
I'm still thinking about one character in particular: Devin, the local bootleg man. He starts out like any other minor character, but his story hit me hard as the pages turned. Beautifully and tragically written.
I would have liked to know how Caleb knew when Bullet Tooth was influencing events. He just "knows." I'm wondering whether it's a gut feeling or whether he has some psychic link with the entity.
There were a couple minor editing issues but nothing that altered the plot.
