I haven't read a lot of horror yet, so I guess my opinion here is only worth so much, but this was fantastic. Loved the writing style, loved the twists, satisfying ending, and was new perspectives (for me). I'm really happy I liked it so much, I got this as a gift last year and had been waiting until October to read it, and it was worth the wait. I would have finished the book sooner, but the end of Lewis' section I did NOT see coming and I put the book down for a couple weeks after that, lol. Some characters are morally better or worse than others, obviously, but I liked all of them and they were well fleshed-out.

Dogs (and elk) get seriously messed up in this book, and it's not avoidable. I know some people get more antsy about dogs getting hurt than people getting hurt in fiction, so if that's a problem for you, avoid this one. Otherwise, this was a lot of fun.

Minor side-note: I have problems with my shoulders that make holding a lot of books for long periods difficult, and have been avoiding certain kinds of books because of this. The hardback copy of this was very easy to hold, though. Perfect size for my little hands too.
