Stephen Graham Jones does it again! This short and fast paced story is full of funny lines, inner dialogue, and unexpected events. Going into it, I thought it would be much scarier, not to say this isn't scary, but in a different way. The horror in this book was more terrifying and disquieting than outright horror, which I really like too. The unexpected twists and turns were fun to read through and you never really know what's exactly true and what's imaginary, or is it? Jones does so well with the dialogue and not writing too much in the form of details, and his manifestations of horrors and atrocities are impeccable. Great book, quick read, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, thanks Stephen Graham Jones!
