Matt Shaw never fails to surprise me with his versatility in taking on different genres. While this was still primarily a supernatural horror, there were elements of drama and romance woven into the story. Shaw tells this tale with his inimitable, quirky narrative and builds up the tension gradually. One of the best things about this book is that the main characters feel so real. They act just like a real person would in the circumstances. None of this "There's a ghost in my house. I'm perfectly fine to stay the night alone!" business that you find in a lot of similar books where you end up wondering what the characters were thinking.A creepy tale and an enjoyable read which will invoke various emotions and keep you awake at night.
