A bit of a slower start with decent humor with some good creepy sections!

Great concept but not executed as well as I had hoped.

4.5

The only thing keeping it from being a full 5 for me is that the narrator was a little too self-referential for my taste and I wish it built tension a little bit more. Other than that, the pacing was nice, the dynamics were great, the monsters were very cool and the entomology was a unique touch that added a lot of different things to the narrative.
