One of the most disturbing books I’ve ever read. Beware reading this at night. I started off expecting more of a Woman in Black or Carmilla vibe and then I got to the second half and I’m still recovering.
The book should be something creepier like Howl of the Gloom. The gloom will follow my thoughts as I sleep tonight - buzzing in the dark and peering with yellow eyes.
