This was a great young adult horror that I easily read in one sitting. I loved the overall storyline and the concept of the Stitcher. This book had me captivated throughout the story and I really liked the cast of characters. This was my first book by Darcy Coates and won’t be my last. If you are looking for a fun horror book you should consider checking this one out. 

Read this if you like:

📖 Small town settings
📖 Found family
📖 Disappearances
📖 Creepy vibes

This creepy story has a cast of characters reminiscent of Stranger Things or It.

The premise of the Stitcher is truly terrifying, but I wasn’t sure what the connection to disrupting technology was.

I really enjoyed the vivid descriptions and the creepy villain. I did not think it needed to be as long as it was. It made it feel drug out and got repetitive at times. Some plot points seemed entirely unnecessary. 

I'm really liking the supernatural books. This one did the whole tension scenes really well

rascalgeese's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I don't like reading characters with EDS oddly enough 

This book is the YA mix of Pennywise from Stephen King’s IT, the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers and maybe some Hawkins vibes from Stranger Things. Honestly, I kinda forgot it was more YA for a bit as the eeriness, the way bodies were taken/found and need to figure out what is going on in this town dragged me in so fast. More than most YA thrillers. This is my first book from this author and for sure won’t be my last now.
