Review of 'NOS4A2' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This was the horror novel I wanted for October. It was creepy, disturbing, and hair-raisingly suspenseful.
It features a villain who is disturbing because he truly believes he is helping children by sucking all the life out of them and turning them into vampires, and a henchman who does the dirty, horrifying work of torturing and murdering the people who get in their way.
I loved the characters and the setting, and I loved the idea of people who can navigate their own personal worlds with help from a talisman. I’d heard mixed things about the TV adaptation, but I enjoyed this book so much that I think I’ll give it a chance.
