Don’t Miss the HORROR Section!

Admittedly, I am the perfect audience for this book. I love me some smart horror, I love being puzzled and guessing up to the end, and I love being immersed in a weird world. If you are like me, you will probably love this book. This is for fans of creepy Stephen King, of House of Leaves, and of Ishiguro’s Buried Giant. All with maybe a hint of a young adult vibe. Confused? You’ll just have to read the book. –Erin
