Although the reader may see where this is going, do not dnf as there’s more surprises to come with some truly original concepts; the author takes certain tries and makes them their own. This is a brilliantly written book that manages to deal with very dark matters and pulls it off completely.
This author can really write; the language in places would do Blackwood proud. Seriously impressed and would highly recommend to lovers of the macabre.

I didn't know much about the book going into it and when some of the themes of this book emerged, I felt very put-off. But that's on me for not checking TW's.
>SPOILER< Something that completely broke the tone of the novel for me, and felt borderline ridiculous, was the scene of Lori and Abby finally getting into the River Man's hut. The flaming footsteps, the pool of blood, the heavy metal guitar-playing old demon dude. It felt silly and didn't have an impact on me other than confusion.
