It gets repetitive at times and could probably be a novella but this works as a dread filled nightmare. Trisha is a very likable main character and I like how dreamlike and unnerving it gets. The main villain is also pretty cool and I like how it goes down this ambitious direction in a lot of ways. Not one of his strongest works, but a very enjoyable novel.
