Another wonderful story by Kingfisher. Not sure exactly what genre this story is. I saw it listed as fantasy and somewhere else as horror. I would say it leans more towards the fantasy with a touch of horror. If I was to compare it to her other horror novels though, The Twisted Ones & The Hallow Places, I would say that this one did not scare me like those. It did have a creepy vibe at the end but that was about it. It did, however, have all of the author's awesome characterization, story-telling, and humor. I loved the fact that our main character, Sam, was an entomologist with a side of archeology. I love bugs and read about them on occasion. I find them fascinating but not all share that feeling so it was nice to see a character with that interest. The neighbor had a love for vultures and cared for them within her home. I found this deeply interesting as well. Loved that unusual flare to the book. Kingfisher never seems to disappoint.
