Arguably, this novel does fall into the horror category.  However, personally, I didn't find it particularly "horrifying," "scary," "creepy," or any other words that are synonymous.  Maybe I've become desensitized from having already read quite a few extreme horror stories.  Nevertheless, the story did have some action filled and suspenseful moments.  Moreover, the plot was interesting and original, as well as, a bit twisted (LOL) the pace of the story was good.  The characters were a tad bit one dimensional but, for the most part, the character development was okay.  Although the author's writing style is descriptive, for some reason I can't explain, I still had trouble visualizing the creatures. There is quite a bit of sexual content so I recommend for readers 18 and older. I didn't particularly care for the ending which left room for a sequel and should there be one I doubt that I would read it.  This is my first Rufty book and this book was interesting enough that I will periodically checkout his releases to see if there's anything that interest me.I wouldn't necessarily recommend this novel for hard core horror junkies, which I apparently am, but other readers who enjoy horror stories may enjoy it more than I did.
