Another difficult one to rate... It is well written, but so damn... not misogynist, but something like that. It was somewhat scary and clever, but also somewhat aggravating and frustrating with all the mansplaining and “logic and rationality”. It was hard to stay in the story with all the eye-rolling. Maybe I'm getting too old with this crap :-D

I also watched the 1962 movie Night of the Eagle or Burn, Witch, Burn. The book was better :-D

I recommend this as a Halloween horror reading.

BTW, this is not a good cover for this story, but it's so dang pretty that I don't have the heart to choose something better. :-D
