Rereading this I'm struck by an unfamiliar sense of dread and discomfort. However, this time it is not the lurking of monsters in the shadows but the festering racism darkening every chapter. I low key miss when the ominous atmosphere of lore and myth was spookier than the cruel undertones of reality.
Avoid the 2008 edition with the gilt edged pages - it has numerous grammatical and typesetting errors. The corrected 2011 edition has silver page edging.
