The story was intriguing. Clay was my favorite character who brought such a unique quality to a horrific childhood experience aftermath. The other characters seemed not completely flushed out. The storyline was a bit rough leaving me wonder how truly significant certain aspects would be. The aftermath part of the book was a saving grace to more neatly tie in the loose threads. Now my grading may seem rough to some, but I know for a fact that this author delivers, some of the best psychological horror books I've ever read in fact. I will continue to read his work regardless, because not all work is perfection. The story was still enjoyable enough for me to recommend, because he really does have a unique talent to blur the lines of what is real and what haunts the deepest recesses of our minds.
This is a very heavy and dark story. A mysterious man in the woods. Terrible things that happen when kids meet this man, and some of those kids are called back as adults to face the truth. There are quite a few trigger warnings I could give.
