This one got me. A solid narrative voice, some truly creepy body horror, and a good pace.

My first T kingfisher read! Perfectly haunting and spooky, with a good irreverent narrator.
Graphic: Gore, Body horror, Injury/Injury detail, and Stalking

tenshiwing07's review against another edition
Particularly fantastic to read at night! Well-plotted and well-paced horror story, it is slow and yet it just built the dread. Plays very much into human instinct to be afraid of places we can't fully see. Sometime the inclination to investigate takes you bad places. Simon and Kara's friendship was amazing - Simon was the best person to ever live.
The cat was a star, by the way, as was Prince.
The ending though! I never expected to hear myself call taxidermy and Uncle Earl's strange old museum endearing and yet! Endearing taxidermy.
