Quick, easy, creepy read. Nothing to build a universe on, but definitely worth a couple hours of your time! 4/5

Wait... this is how the book ends? We're not told how things happened and why? Is there a sequel to this? There has to be a sequel, right?!?!?!?!
This book was well-written, but I really wish we'd had a more thorough understanding of how the world had gotten to that point. Are they aliens? Old Gods? Was this a new version of World of Warcraft's Azeroth?
Either way, I liked it!

A good fairly short read. Better than anticipated.
I especially liked the author's writing style. The short almost barren sentences underlined the bleak atmosphere in the book.
Main character was well written and very ordinary. Descriptions of the creatures were great and realistic in the sense of 'we are in way over our heads'.

I enjoyed the book. The Idea of it is quite cool and I found that after I'd finished the book I wanted a whole different book explaining how the "Event" happened and what caused it. But, that would go against the grain of the Lovecraftian aspect. I thought that some of the relationships between the characters could have been a little bit more fleshed out than they were but still found myself relating to them. Not a hard thing to do in this book, as I'm sure many people would act the same when faced by an apocalypse like this. Overall I'd give the book a solid 7/10.
