This
is the follow up to Kickshaw's Candies, an excellent story with
elements of horror and Irish folklore. Finnell has a real talent for
storytelling. This book is very well written. I liked the feel of the
story. It has a dreamy, oral storytelling style that immediately
draws you in. I felt compelled to keep reading so as to find out what
was going to happen next. The writing is very descriptive, creepy and
at times gruesome like a story told to Stephen King, Clive Barker,
Neil Gaiman and Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) as they sit
around a campfire. Each chapter reads like a short, scary,
self-contained story that builds on each previous vignette. An
amazing follow up to the excellent mythos that began with Kickshaw's
Candies. 5 stars.
