Comedy horror is REALLY hard to pull off. The first third of this book is more horror, and I was totally creeped out; then the horror part settles down and it's kind of funny, mostly when John (the narrator's unreliable best friend) is around. After a while the unspeakable horrors just get kind of dumb, and I felt like the ending wasn't nearly big enough, but damn if I didn't just check to make sure no one was inside the TV watching me with their hands pressed against the other side of the screen just now. Ack. Apparently there will be sequels? Apparently I will read them.
Grade: B
