Bah, I'm wavering on 3.5-4 stars on this, but only because it took me a while to read this, but the book is not at fault. Distracting fanfiction, which doesn't count here on Goodreads, got in the way of things.

While this book wasn't scary enough to keep me awake at night (maybe if I had read it in one sitting rather than half hour lunch-break bursts) it would have immersed me some more, but it is a good read if you want something gruesome and ancient-evil, it-dwells-in-us-all, there-is-no-God, kind of scary. Oh, and some great illustrations, that's a bonus as well.
