Multi decade family story with monsters, murders, inter dimensional travel, and backyard haunted houses. Hamill is one to keep an eye on. ( ) Not my cup of tea, but 5⭐ Objectively, this is a really good book. Personally, I didn't like it. It's a great horror story with likeable and realistic characters that make you feel, especially the monsters. Truly, the monsters are the stars of the story. And the city they populate is the one always found on the edges of the human mind. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

He becomes obsessed with the construction of an elaborately crafted haunted house attraction, christened The Wandering Dark. The family tries to shield baby Noah from the house's faux horrors, but unbeknownst to them, he's being visited by a furry beast with glowing orange eyes--the same ghastly being glimpsed by both his mother and sister.
