I would like to save my pretentious, self-indulgent, self-absorbed prattling for my books, thank you very much. There's nothing interesting about me, or at least, nothing relevant that I feel like sharing. I was born, I am living, and I will die. All I can hope is that I can be entertaining along the way.

I must make it clear that horror is not really my cup of tea or the genre of my choice. It is way too intimidating for me, but there was something about this novel that grabbed my attention. So I started to read it, and once I started, I could not stop myself. The story is very thrilling and invigorating. You cannot help but be sucked into this twisted world where the writer makes you a part of the team. The word choices, the atmosphere, and the characters were very strong. This is how horror should be written. Definitely a five-star novel!
