I'm sorry to say I've had The Gulp on my TBR for around 2 years, and I never picked it up in all that time. I had no idea what I was missing. Strange things happen in Gulpepper, very creepy things. While there are some deaths and some really well done body horror, this book relies more on a weird, unsettling strangeness permeating the stories. The 5 stories all collide in the end and are continued in the next book (which I bought right away). 4.5 stars, rounded up.
