there are things that are odd, whimsical, and eerie, but nothing to keep you up all night. so if you go in knowing that, i think you will have a more realistic expectation of what's in store. There's a quirky charm to it that overshadows anything even a little creepy. i thought this would be a perfect companion book to The Supernatural Enhancements - spooky and dark with a hook for bookish types.Īnd it's a good book, but when it's put in that lineup, there's an element missing. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, The Secret History, Let the Right One In, i thought "this book is for ME!"īut when the words "chilling" and "creepy" are used, i have certain expectations. Twin peaks, the brothers grimm, The Shadow of the Wind, Mr. I love the cover, the font, the premise, and when i read the list of comparisons on the back cover: and wouldn't you know - the day it arrived in my mailbox was the same day i got approved on netgalley.Īnd after all those folks throwing the book at me, i just wish i'd loved it more than i did. Erin was good enough to send me her copy of this book, which i had already requested from netgalley, but since i have had really poor luck lately getting approved in a timely manner, she offered to mail me hers.
