I am not a fan of horror stories which is why my short review of this book is: This is a horrible, horrible book that I can't believe I actually read - but in a good way.

The story is in a way a slow build suspension story about a couple of months in a small town in Georgia in 1957. In another way it is a straight up horror story about unkillable evil with intervals that makes you believe that what the people of Gaither experienced maybe actually exists in the real world.
As I said a horrible, horrible book...

The thing about the story that made me keep on reading was actually the same thing that made me feel that it was a horrible book for me, the intervals.
These are snippets from other works that supports the story by sounding as if they are from the real world. I think that they are fictional, but I don't know that they are. Which makes the story more horrifying by making it seem more real.

The fact that I actually read the book and gave it four stars is to me a testament to the fact that it is a good book that is worth the read. I really like this book which I wouldn't have thought since it is in the horror genre.

But I won't be reading it again - and I will never watch a movie in a theater called ShadowShow.
