a solid 4 stars because it wasn’t bad, but i think i wanted to be creeped out and i wasn’t for the most part. still, it has very engaging writing style, and i loved foxy’s characterization. and i adored bongo. there was a lot of comic relief and fantasy tropes, so maybe that’s why it wasn’t extremely creepy. i still liked it tho! definitely an upgrade from the last books i’ve read lmao

Everyone knows that a hoarder's home is a nightmare in and of itself, but what if that hoard was hiding something even more devilish. When Mouse's grandmother finally passes away and her house needs to be dealt with, she doesn't know what to expect. She also doesn't know that there might just be monsters awaiting her arrival. Between reading her dementia addled grandfather's journal and dealing with a mountainous mess- what could possibly be worse. Well Mouse finds out... but thank goodness for hwr coonhound to keep her grounded through an adventure that can't quite be understood but definitely is a doozy! 

I still can't get over the fairy monsters in pure hillbilly fashion... they will be haunting my dreams for years to come!

Me gustó el ambiente que logró generar Kingfisher. Me perturbó en varias ocasiones y a estas alturas eso es todo lo que puedo pedir de un libro de terror. Me gustó que siempre que pensaba que ya había visto todas las cartas, la autora te introducía algo nuevo. Tiene esos momentos de comedia en la peor de las situaciones que me divierten mucho. Te engancha al toque y se lee rápido. 7,75/10

If you like books like annihilation, you the scares are similar but the story is more confined to the characters in a silly and lovable way.
