Well, that was creepy and unsettling. No one does unsettling like T. Kingfisher.

The only way I can get through horror books is if I only read them while it's light outside, AND I read something funny when it's dark out. (The book I read along with this one is Mort by Terry Pratchett!) It also helps that Kingfisher is so fantastic at blending the humor with the absolutely batshit terrifying situations she comes up with. I'm not one who really enjoys being scared, but I love Kingfisher's books and writing enough that I power through.

But dang, the stones and effigies in this one were creepy. All in all, a good book to round out Spooky Season with. I definitely recommend if you like horror at all!
