I have never felt dread as I've felt whilst reading this book. T.. Kingfisher is a master of crafting horrors beyond human comprehension.
The first word that comes to mind after finishing this book is clever. T. Kingfisher has managed to craft an amazing narrative through the use of props from a different dimension and the backdrop of something so mundane as a divorce.
Beyond this book giving me a genuine spook, the characters are all a delight to read about. The narrator Kara has a distinct voice and she's funny. In fact most dialogue and internal monologue is incredibly clever, funny and entertaining to read. None of this takes away from the terror and frightfulness of the situation the characters find themselves in.
This book is creative, clever, scary and fun. If you're looking for the perfect lovecraftian Horror book, you've found it.
Also: Fuck Mark, me and all my homies hate that piece of shit ex-husband Mark
