This has been on my radar for a few years now, so I was very excited to finally read it. And, wow, did it far exceed my expectations!  The whole piece is seeped in atmosphere and full of remarkable character work. This book also hits on one of my favorite approaches to horror writing: those that are gruesome and gritty while maintaining a sort of folk-tale, otherworldly atmosphere throughout. I absolutely adored the incorporation of the second-person point-of-view. I also liked how the story often challenges you with question of who the narrative is really about, what roles the characters play in their ultimate fates, and how each individual action informs everything that follows. One of my favorites, truly.
