I got caught up in this book. Darnielle is known for his lyrics and the style of this book definitely had a lyric element to it that just caught me. I gulped this down over the course of three sessions and really enjoyed it. The plot was slightly lacking but the narrative was thoroughly engaging.
Read for the second time, largely paperback and audiobook. It was still quite good, though not as overwhelming as the first time.
Ahhhhhh!!! How could he leave so many unanswered questions?!
