Lovely slow-building eerie horror tale. It starts out well, gets creepy very quickly, slows down in the middle while Sam sits around eating pizza, and then picks up to a nasty climax. Kingfisher makes sure the reader can figure out exactly what's going on so there's lots of tension watching Sam work out the details. I loved the ladybugs and especially the vultures. Lots of witty dialogue, excellent setting, and good characters. It's a fairly short novel and just my taste in horror as I don't usually care for a lot of blood and guts.
