'The Creeper' left me not wanting to look out my windows. 

My initial response to the main characters wasn't positive and, to be honest, I still didn't like any of them much by the end but, unlike with most stories, my dislike of them didn't affect my enjoyment of the story.

I was quickly hooked by the plot, and the story held my interest so strongly that I ended up reading the entire book in one sitting.

The story is a nice mix of gothic horror and folk horror that touches on the power of stories and the danger of belief.

I need to vaguely discuss the ending as it is the only aspect of the story that I have a slight issue with. When initially reading it, I enjoyed how everything played out. However, as soon as I stopped to think about it, I realised just how improbable and unrealistic it was. The logistics alone make absolutely no sense. 

That said, I'm willing to 'just go with it' in this situation as I enjoyed the book too much to care about whether the climax/twist actually makes practical sense or not.
