One of these days I'm going to learn that I don't like horror, no matter how cool the plot sounds. I don't know what other people feel when they read horror (fear? suspense?), but I feel like I've been wallowing in sewage and need a shower.
Would I have liked this book if I did like horror? Probably not. The author never settles for a hundred words when thousands will do, and many of those excess words are the result of an overuse of simile. There were times when it seemed like every other senten ...more

A great read! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Kate Mulgrew could narrate the phone book and I would listen to however many hours that would end up being.

Joe Hill scores another win in this suspenseful tale of a maniac in an old Rolls Royce who kidnaps children and takes them to "Christmasland" So much horror today is either very slow or jumps to the gore too soon. This book will have you turning the pages without much "ick" factor.
Highly recommended. ...more
