Lovely slow-building eerie horror tale here. It starts out well, gets creepy very quickly, slows down a bit while Sam sits around eating pizza, and then picks up to a nasty climax. Kingfisher makes sure the reader knows exactly what's going on so there's lots of tension watching Sam try to figure it out. I loved the ladybugs and especially the vultures. Lots of witty dialogue, excellent setting, and good characters. It's a fairly short novel and just my taste in horror as I don't usually care for a lot of blood and guts.
