Very solid horror with themes of grief, poverty, racism, religion, revenge. Writing style was fucking great and had me hooked from the very beginning

More of a 3.5, but round down due to the book being advertised as a good book for Halloween. It’s just a good book of fiction, nothing particularly “spooky.”
