This was my least favorite of his books so far... I didn't think the writing was very strong and I think it relied too much on metal references.

Grady Hendrix has clever ideas.  This book had a few of them and a couple of tense, scary moments.

This book is genuinely scary. I couldn't wrap my head around how a book with this basis could be a horror and I kept thinking this until the first horror scene. From then on, everything is terrifying. Can't wait to read more of his works!
