I fucking love Chuck Wendig and I fucking LOVE this book! I think it might actually be my favourite by him. It’s just so bloody fucking GOOD. It’s eerie and creepy and then when it all starts to come together and the pieces click it’s just MIND BLOWING.

The Warren’s and their story has always absolutely fascinated me and I’m glad I finally got around to reading more about them. Still not sure I believe it wholly but doesn’t make it any less interesting! Loved the audio version, made great road trip company.

This was disgusting and disturbing in the BEST way possible. From start to finish I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what horrifying, nasty shit would happen next and there’s nothing I love more than that feeling when reading horror. Definitely can’t wait to read more from this author!

I don’t even know where to start with this book because it was so bloody brilliant. It’s the second Kingfisher I read and it definitely won’t be the last because their work is just phenomenal. The world they build in such a short time is mind blowing and I cannot recommend this story highly enough!
