4.5/5⭐, rounded up

🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆
Such a blast to read! It did not disappoint. Brimming with action and nostalgia and a large cast of memorable characters this girthy novel is evocative of King classics

Claustrophobic… panicked… anxious… A sinister, gripping medical horror that subtly edges in, just under the skin, and stays bone deep long after the last page.

Perfect novella of creeping screaming cosmic horror & one of the scariest things I know: a small child… superfast 1 sitting read that confirms my lifelong belief that children are eldritch demons & I am always right to ignore them

Just finished James Kaine's Devil of the Pines which releases Sep 23. Another good (this time American) folk horror that might scratch that itch.

gorgeous lyrical & lurking botanical horror is lovely, but the book is overlong by half and meanders with its tone. The bare wisp of a plot gets lost...
