4.0
I loved this book. I never thought a horror would ever be my comfort read, but I found this book almost fluffy.
I'm a fan of The Magnus Archives, I love the story, I love the characters, I love how Jonny portrays the different perspectives of the characters and mostly I love interconnected anthologies. This book has all of those. The reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it's very heavy-handed about the message it's trying to give and I found the climax to be underwhelming, even though everything leading up to it was great.
