This book was exactly what I had hoped for: experimental, strange, surreal, interesting. It was more fantasy than horror, though I did take a break halfway through because the second section felt anxiety-inducing rather than scary. Ultimately it's about a boy who goes missing and the people around him struggling to cope. I particularly loved the myth, and the imagery, and the fast changes between perspectives. It's not told in a traditional way, so it won't appeal to anyone who likes things predictable. Not sure how I feel about the ending yet... it was well-executed and clearly thought out but perhaps not what I expected, not much left up for interpretation. I would definitely recommend this to the right kind of person.
