I should start by saying creepy books are not usually my jam.  But since I have been gravitating more towards creepy and dark fantasy, I figured I’d give a shorter book a try.

Oh my!  I came for the creepy grotesque and stayed for the dark humour.  The book is full of beautiful detail and the characters are rich and complex.  I had to put down the book a few times to breathe through the creepiness, but this is exactly what I wanted and needed.
