Very creepy and well written. I was sitting at the edge of my seat and having chills down my spine as I read it.But since I don't understand it all, I found the ending quite unsatisfactory.
How do you categorize David Nickle? Horror? Dark fantasy? New weird? Old weird? His books are all of these things and so much more. So much more, in fact, that no one genre can contain him.

Good book, just not to my taste.
This was well written and imaginative but hey holy hillbillies it was too way out. The story revolves around a utopian society in Idaho that goes awry, as such things are wont to do. The sub-plot (co-plot?) has to do with a young man orphaned by a deadly virus that kills his whole town. An aunt who ...
Mientras leía me dio una sensación de malestar que no sé si fué causada por el libro mismo o por ir leyendo en carretera. Pero el hecho de que lo este dudando habla bien del libro, en serio.
