“And I twisted myself about like the twisted ones, and I lay down flat on the ground like the dead ones…”
If your fight or flight instinct is to laugh, then this one is for you.
A great gothic read featuring spooky woods with a changing landscape and the terrifying things contained inside, all while the mc ponders her tumultuous relationship with her grandmother as she cleans out her house.
This is now my third T. Kingfisher book I’ve read and I’ll be now going through their whole backlist.
Not a spoiler, the dog lives so you can put away that fear when reading and just enjoy Bongo’s antics.
