CALLING MR. NELSON PUGH

"HOLY COW THIS BOOK WAS A RIDE."
EstherBite Into Books
[Calling Mr. Nelson Pugh] "brings our greatest fears to reality. That something did actually happen, that our worry is justified, and there's still nothing we can do about it. ... It's everything I've been looking for in a psychological horror story."
AmanjaAmanja Reads Too Much
"A gripping, taut horror story that moves. There is no time to breathe, no time to slow down... a terrifying and relentless journey into the darkest corners of humanity."
