This book was SO SLOW. The prose was bloated and exhausting to read, it killed any sense of dread or tension building that I need in a horror book. Slow burns can be scary and deliver, but this book is too waterlogged with meaningless flashbacks to even get a spark going. You get no answers by the end and the books end on a whimper. Such a disappointment.
