I also wish there was a little more personality to the characters, especially given how much this book relies on their drama. The writing is excellent though and the atmosphere is on point. I also like how this tackled eugenics as a theme and incorporated it into the horror aspects.

I was suspicious of Francis for most of the book, but pleasantly glad that he was not Virgil or Howard Jr.
