Not scary, just disgusting. I get that it's intentional, but it doesn't say anything new and too sympathetic to protagonists.

Despite being overstuffed, it has a lot of bite, and pathos.

Succeeds in being properly scary, especially in the second half when all the action really reaches a crescendo. Creepy and uncomfortable.
The ending left a little to he desired in my opinion, open. I'll definitely pick up the collection of short stories which is supposed to include a sequel.
