Started so strong, but fell off a bit for me. 

Much like horror movies, I find that horror novels lose a lot of their “punch” when the monsters are revealed. Or in this case, when the creepiness is starting to become clearer / interacted with. The bits with the novel, and the creeping dread with the noises and finding the thing in the woods—fantastic. Everything after that—meh. I didn’t dislike it, but it could have been much creepier and better. I found myself bored by the end.
