Oh boy, this was more horrific than I expected. The full-body shudders that the descriptions triggered… the faces I made while reading about the imagery and smells and sensations in this book… wow. The plot was compelling, the characters varied, and the situations the protagonist is put into terrifying. I felt vaguely ill most of the time while reading this one but boy was it gripping.
Read if you like thrillers, horror (especially body horror), and big scary houses with character.
