OH
Hello, what?

I don't have the words to fully explain how I feel after finishing this. First 300 pages, absolutely fine, better than fine, actually really good. It reads like a love letter to Stephen King, the influences are there for all to see, bits of IT, The Talisman and whiff of Needful Things.

BUT THEN.

Honestly I don't know ... some kind of Christian fable, God v The Devil with rabid deer, a mass scabies outbreak, immaculate conception, LOTS of hissing and LOTS of scratching and tree houses lots of those too. I was ready to give up on a number of occasions but strangely I kept going and I don't feel any better for doing so. I'm sure some people will find some meaning in those last 500 hundred pages but I am not one of them, in fact, I might never read again.
