Truly creepy! On par with Stephen King. I read the entire book in one night.

This is a great little creepy, languid, southern gothic horror tale. There's no explicit blood and gore here - everything is left to your imagination and that's what makes it work so good as a horror story.

McDowell didn't write as many scary books as some more famous authors, but his outshine most of the works by more well-known writers. I think this is his scariest book (Cold Moon Over Babylon comes close behind). Those into subtle horror (not slasher gore) will get a thrill out of this tale.
