3.5

This book had some really good moments and then it also had some moments where I wanted to grab Nick Cutter by the shoulders and shake him vigorously while saying STOP TRYING TO BE STEPHEN KING. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

A very dark, very graphic, horrific, horror tale. Exactly what you’d expect of Nick Cutter, but it can be a lot if you aren’t aware of him.

Do you like documentaries about Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple? Heaven's Gate? This book does cults so well. That final sermon... oof that was freaky. The dread and fear is palpable throughout the whole book. This book could honestly stand alone with just the parts of it that took place in the 1960s. The story was super gory. like... super gory. I kinda want him to do a short story about the other places they found out there near Little Heaven. The children of this book make the children of the corn look like cutesy day campers. I would've liked him to explain the wishes stuff a little more. That was still pretty ambiguous at the end, but hey, you can't have it all. A terrifying read for sure.
