Media Reviews

"[A] killer ending that shows why he's still one of the most dependable writers of horror working today." - PW.

"Readers new to Farris will certainly be skittish about sampling any of his other works. Not recommended." - Library Journal.

"A chilling ride in which the action never flags,with an oddly constructed script-like climax and wholly unexpected gem of an ending. " - Kirkus.
