This was fun...brutal, but a spooky and atmospheric fun read.

The writer didn't overly, heavily detail the gore, but it was still part of the story. It seemed there to highlight the seriousness of the threat. Coyote isn't playing around.

“There is an exercise I teach at colleges: Get yourself a canvas and a bunch of acrylics and go into a very dimly lighted room. Dip a brush into one of the colors, slap it on the canvas, don't look, close your eyes, make a painting, don't look, turn the lights on and see what you've got.
