This is a very disturbing, intense, and horrific psychological horror novel, and I really enjoyed it. To be honest, after the first few pages, I began to think that it may be a DNF. There was a great deal of descriptive prose, almost to the point of being overdone, but it doesn't take long before you realize the author is setting you up beautifully with mood and atmosphere. Mr. Poff perfectly weaves this tale between mental illness and horror and, by the end, you don't know which is scarier. I read this in one day, the majority of which was read last night, when i couldn't put it down until it was done. Atari, the main protagonist, suffers from BPD, and the journey he and his friends are on may be too much for some readers. But, otherwise, this is a very strong piece of horror that I totally recommend.
