A delightfully creepy read to start out my October with. Reminiscent to me of Coraline, and McCammon's 'Boy's Life', but still very much its own story. My dad loves this book, and I'm glad he recommended it. Lots of wonderful descriptions and humor combined with unsettling undertones and powerful themes. A book I'm sure will leave a mark, although I read it in an evening.
