And then something shrieks to high heaven and attacks you from behind.
That is the only way I can describe the actual physical feeling I get as I work through each installment of this serialized horror story. Each section contains the requisite scares and horror imagery that Leon does masterfully: the man with no eyes, shadows with a rubbery physicality, holes in reality appearing, corpses dragging themselves through broken windows.
But underlying all of that is this deeply unsettling feeling that there's something even MORE scary coming down the road, a sense that seems to come through by part 12 (which is as far as I've gotten so far) when a literal new world opens up, and the idea that all the creepy things that happened so far as merely precursors to even creepier things seems to be coming true.
The story works on two levels, as the best horror does: constant frights from the bevy of monsters and supernatural events, but setting up a fight over souls and worlds that raises the stakes even higher. This book is shaping up to be a masterpiece.

I'm not sure there's a better feeling than getting up to a positive review. Thanks! :)
How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?
