Horror just isn't my thing. I think Rossi did a good job of telling a Clive Barker-esque tale that was disturbing and creepy and wonderful, but when I express my dissatisfaction with the way the ending wrapped up... I think it has less to do with the quality of the story told and more to do with the kind stories that I enjoy. Because I really didn't like the ending. It left me annoyed.

That said, I was definitely reminded of [b:Weaveworld|52640|Weaveworld|Clive Barker|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31XY3DV297L._SL75_.jpg|942564] (Barker) and [b:Shade of the Tree|15471|Shade of the Tree|Piers Anthony|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166672987s/15471.jpg|17339] (Anthony), both of which I enjoyed.
