Almost from the moment I began reading, I had trouble putting this one down. Something about Hamill's style and storytelling drew me in deeper and deeper, with even the more mundane passages feeling like they held a real tension. As the book built towards its conclusion and everything began coming together, I couldn't help wishing that Hamill had dozens of books I could rush out to buy immediately, and I can't wait to experience more of his storytelling. I'd absolutely recommend this one--it had all of the speculative darkness I could ask for, gorgeous writing, and enough turns to keep me guessing, as well as an ending with real heft. I loved it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Objectively, this is a really good book.
Personally, I didn't like it.
It's a great horror story with likeable and realistic characters that make you feel, especially the monsters. Truly, the monsters are the stars of the story. And the city they populate is the one always found on the edges of the human mind. ( )
