This book is so good, I almost didn't want to finish it because then I would never again get to read it for the first time. It is about three elderly people, one of whom is a retired fantasy author, another is a grandfather, and the third is a suspiciously wealthy woman. When they were teens, all three of them went through a traumatic incident at a home with a bloody and gruesome history. The entity that resides in the home, known as Mr. Friendlyman, has got to be one of the creepiest and most terrifying creatures I've ever read about in a horror novel. The plot twist was pretty easy for me to figure out but that did not lessen how much I enjoyed this. I really had a great time with this gory and gruesome cosmic horror book, and I'll always be eager to read anything by Judith Sonnet.
