The second Hendrix novel I've read so far. I just love the mix of horror and comedy so much, even though this book's horror aspect didn't catch me quite as much as his other work(s) did. Still, it was a really cool experience - especially given this amazing design! The story was fast-paced, the characters felt really authentic and the ending left me wanting to read more; I would definitely recommend it :)
