The old English is hard for me to read so an audiobook was perfect. Poe writes so beautifully.

This was surprisingly my first of Joe Hill’s work. I knew I would enjoy it and his writing is very detailed but easy to read. This story was a mix of Midsommar, Wicker Man, and Pet Sematary.

So good! If you’re a horror fan then you will love the Easter eggs that are in this novel. The end twist is great.

This was good. Fast paced and an easy read. Not quite a 4 star just because I felt there was something missing.
