I’m not completely sure if this is a compliment or not but this is absolutely one of the most “I can see the movie version” horror books I’ve read

I'm not sure how to adequately review this novel. Sharpson writes with elegance and poignancy, but I felt I was missing a great deal of context. There are so many references to Irish folklore and culture that breathe life into the story, but I ultimately finished this read with a longing for more. And perhaps that's part of the point.
If you're a fan of horror steeped in folklore, this is sure to whet your appetite.
Thank you to Tor Nightfire and Netgalley for the ARC.
