Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson
4.0

In alternating timelines, horror and Celtic myth are woven into a family’s history and the secrets kept there. At the heart of it all, is an Irish children’s television show with an even darker presence. When the door between the known and unknown opens, it can never close again.

KNOCK KNOCK, OPEN WIDE by Neil Sharpson was a truly enjoyable coming of age horror novel!

I was a bit nervous about the folklore element when diving into this one, but found that it really took a backseat to the family and relationship dynamics that showed up on page.

This book managed to bring tears to my eyes and the dialogue felt so unbelievably natural at times that I was completely sucked in.

The spooky element definitely hit when it needed to and added a really nice mystery to the story!

Thanks to NetGalley and Tor Nightfire for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
