I put off reading this book for so long because I really thought it was like 500 pages or something, so when the ebook had a hold line of 2 months and I got the physical copy instead, imagine my surprise in finding it's a novella of barely 150 pages. And oh boy do I wish I had just read it when I first got the ARC. I'm always a fan of urban fantasy, especially with folklore mixed in, and this one definitely hit the spot for me. The worldbuilding is so clever - creatures that feed on fear running a horror movie theater? That's such an artfully simple, genius idea. The worldbuilding didn't feel weighty, and I was impressed with how well-developed the characters felt given the book's length. I did feel that the relationships between the characters could have been developed just *slightly* more, and I found myself almost wishing it was the 500-page brick of a book that I thought it would be... Almost. I think it's a great example of a well-executed novella, fitting everything it needs to in such a small package. As a plus, I don't usually comment on book covers, but this one is simply gorgeous.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor books for the e-ARC!
