So this book was such a great story that I could not put it down! At first I was like: "Is this really a fantasy?" and then I was like: "Whoa! Cool!" and then I was like: "Creepy, I can't wait to see what happens!" and then I finished it and I was like "Whut? I gotta wait for another book?" So those were my reactions and what really blows me away was that the photographs used for this book are actual photos that the author borrowed from various collectors! Not only am I amazed by the bizarre-ness of the photos, he does a GREAT job working them into the story.
