I'm still fairly new to the genre, but this was the first horror to pull a genuine fear reaction from me the way something more audio-visual would be able to do with a jump scare. It takes a good hundred pages to get into the thick of the horror plot, and at the time, I found it superfluous. Having finished it, the setup helped tremendously and made the pace of the second half feel even more breakneck. Very compelling read!
