This was my second time reading this book and I still enjoy it. I was never much of a horror <i>fan</i>, only coming to appreciate horror movies in later years. But there's something enchanting -- as always -- in Gaiman's writing. The story is terrifying and creepy without being over the top and just right, I think, for middle grade readers who want to dip their toes into the Really Scary Stuff. A part of me wishes there were more to the novel, at least more of a hint as to what the Other Mother truly is, where she came from. I want more lore. But that's not really the point of the book; I understand that even if it takes away from my enjoyment slightly.
