So spooky, very similar dialect to Stephen King but a little more dense. A lot of sub plot drama/background which I enjoyed. Will definitely be rereading in the future to get more from the book later on. I did not expect the ending and cannot say I was too pleased by it but I understand why he did what he did.

I would give a 4.5/5 if I could

The last like 40-50 pages of this book are an intense & thrilling ride. One of the reasons I enjoy rereading this one each year.

This was a solid horror novel. It was definitely creepy! 

Something I didn’t love was the writing style. I feel like it would jump to different perspectives in the same chapter without a visual marker. It was just a little bit confusing.

Other than that, it was action packed and creepy! Perfect for the spooky season!
