I have to say that this is one of the creepiest books that I have ever read, just based on how the author writes alone. You know when you're watching a horror movie and something is happening on the screen that seems normal but shifts into something horrifying so seamlessly that it takes you time to realize what is even happening? That's how this author writes and it kept me on my toes the entire time. I'd give a full 5 stars but the plot gets a bit slow at times. Very good atmosphere of just dread throughout though.
Graphic: Blood, Injury/Injury detail, Emotional abuse, Grief, Gore, and Body horror
Moderate: Child abuse, Murder, Physical abuse, and Death
