I liked this better than Head Full of Ghosts, which seems to get all of the attention. The Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King’s Misery, Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum’s cult hit The Girl Next Door. I got over it eventually but it took about an hour to stop noticing it. It took some time to feel like I understood the difference between the two protagonists (I struggled to keep their attitudes and actions separate and distinct) but I think this had to do with the narrator’s performance, which to me, was a bit like having a GPS tell me the story. This story is pretty harrowing but it’s a poignant analysis of the nature of faith and our belief in the impact we have on our futures, our world and each other. ![]() If you know anything about Tremblay, you know that his endings are careful and he’s not trying to piss you off. People hate this book because of the ending. ![]()
