I’m going to share the publisher summary, because it’s a difficult one to describe. I really had trouble buying into why any of these characters had ever bonded with one another, let alone trusted each other for this final mission.Ī lot of Cassandra Khaw's works sound promising to me, but after this and Nothing But Blackened Teeth, I just don't think their writing is for me, unfortunately. There was also this pervasive feeling of being told what I should think of the characters (i.e., Rita is manipulative and charismatic) instead of just.being shown how those characters act. So many things ended feeling unresolved and there were multiple times throughout the book where I felt like, "okay, so why is this happening?" or "what's even the end goal here?" I'm more than okay with being thrown into a story and trying to figure out what's going on, but this, ultimately, felt very lackluster and confusing. I didn't feel like I understood the characters or their motivations, nor did I have a total handle on the world this took place in by the end. I liked a lot of the ideas and concepts goings on in this book, but the execution was really lacking.

The Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King's Misery, Ruth Ware's In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum's cult hit The Girl Next Door.

Grabinski was a modern man, who believed in evolution, yet he distrusted the Darwinian model and preferred the Bergsonian instead. He continued to write, his books were neglected, and he died at the age of forty-nine, poor and little known. After graduation, he worked as a high school teacher, and achieved some critical success with a book of stories ( The Motion Demon, 1920) in his early thirties, but tuberculosis compelled him to retire at forty. In his early years at the University of Lwow, Stefan learned he suffered from tuberculosis, the Grabinski family hereditary complaint.
