5.0

There's at least one image in this book that will haunt me. The slow creep of dread is immaculately done, the cosmic horror is top-notch, and Simon and Carrot have just enough genre awareness to feel intelligent and reasonable, without feeling frustratingly detached from events. Highly recommended to anyone who 1) likes otherworldly horror or 2) finds taxidermy unsettling.

A fun creepy story that had charm to it. I loved the characters. T Kingfisher is becoming one of my favourite authors. The performance of the narrator was also excellent
