I liked the slow, foreshadowed build to the inevitable reveal of the horrors in the last bit of the book. McNeal took his time reveling in the creepiness and building the mood. I didn't understand the choice to set the plot in small town, current USA. Whenever the narrator mentioned something about this being present day America, I was thrown.
