Some genuinely frightening and rifting imagery. The ending tore my heart out.

This book's first half could have been cut out entirely. There was no need for this book to be 400 pages long. A lot of the plot was just holding me back from the good stuff. I enjoyed the plot element of jumping from the future to the present, and back, but I didn't need all of the side quests described in full. There was also a lot of weird, intimate language used to describe children which made me uncomfy. I don't know why we needed details about a little girl's dress riding up, describing her underwear and explaining how it was wet with pee. That was very weird. It's possible to include children in horror and describing bad things happening to them without fetishizing them. That being said, the ending ROCKED, and the writing was strong overall. It was also very scary!

I am so in love with the way Nick Cutter writes. It is so descriptive and immersive. I can taste the tastes, smell the smells, and feel the sensations so vividly.
This book was a bit of a "slow-burn" for me personally, but it was a great read.
Thank you, Nick. You are truly one of my favorite authors.

This book was written in 2017…..I get that it is set in the 60’s-80’s but do we really need to use slurs in this day and age??? I was also not a fan of the explicit content with the children. That was unnecessary.

Started off so slow for the first 80-100 pages (took me over a week), then it dug its claws in and wouldn't let up (just a few hours, didn't want to put it down). I'm glad I stuck with it!
