Hands down one of the most intensely gripping books I've ever read. Easy 5 star. The descent into the grief induced madness of Louis after tragedy strikes hits you like a semi truck (no pun intended). Incredibly creepy, haunting, sad, depressing, spine tingling... whatever I thought this book was before I read it, it really subverted my expectations. This might be the best book I've read all year.
