If I could give this book eleventy bazillion stars (out of 5 of course) I would. I feel like T.Kingfisher AKA Ursula Vernon wrote this book with me in mind. I had to resist the urge to highlight all the quotes and descriptions that greatly appealed to me. It probably would've been 3/4 of the book anyway LOL.
This book was filled with humor, horror, and insanity. It was a total nod to cosmic/weird horror. If you read the author's note in the back you'll see that Kingfisher said they were using a quote based on The Willows by Algernon Blackwood (which I haven't read but plan to remedy).
The willows™ were filled with inexplicable beings who were a danger to anything that came to their otherworld. It was an eerie place filled with unspeakable things that were a threat to your body and mind. With the climax, you get the bunker quote “Pray they are hungry” because sometimes these beings want to play instead of just eating you. It is better to be eaten in this scenario.
GREAT BOOK! I will recommend it to everyone like a proselytizer for a new religion because this book was worthy of my worship.
