The Dead Take the A Train

Horrific gore and mutilation. Fascinating character/creature creations that were well described for vivid visuals. Entertaining dialogue that was often self-deprecating with a constant thread of forbidden love.
The writers were a bit too sesquipedalian... I'm no literary genius but I think I'm decently intelligent. Too often I had to stop reading to look up the meaning of a word. Became a bit distracting.
It was a very good read that I am still thinking about.
4.5 stars. I really loved this book, particularly because of the creativity of the monsters and world. I really liked the main character of this book, but there was one side character that really bothered me once they were introduced. The gore didn't bother me, when sometimes it can. This was my first Khaw and now I'm interested in reading more.
