The only thing that would've made this better would have been if I had read it in an isolated cabin in the forest during the height of winter.  The atmosphere of this was fanfuckingtastic.  I didn't love the characters, but I don't have to to enjoy a story.  I loved the little side vignettes between the main story.  It just added to the whole horror of it all.

What a fun, wild, horrifying time!
