"This was my first encounter with Shawn Brooks' work, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. His writing style is both engaging and atmospheric, drawing readers into a world where the line between reality and nightmare is beautifully blurred."
-Vivian Mora
"I was super excited I got to read this and can't recommend it enough. I needed this to break up my reading funk and this was just the book to do it. Horror will always be my heart and the way Shawn describes the events in his books, especially this one, had my heart pounding."
-Kisa Rayen
"While not familiar with the Japanese folk lore in Shawn’s work which I first got to know through the equally brilliant Endless is the night I find his writing brilliant and has me gripped from page one."
-Sean Northage
"This book was a trip and simply incredible for a debut. Easy 5 stars from me!!"
-Alyssa Jo
"OK, honestly, this was a blast! Lovecraft in Japan, presented as a mystery-slash-thriller brimming with cosmic horror vibes. I finished it in one sitting, enchanted by the Japanese folklore, the creepy setting, and the well-drawn characters."
-Milt Theo
"An obsessive read right off the bat. S. Brooks brought to life a tale of a life in grief, a travelers worst nightmare, and the terror of a hope shattered by a village where not all is as it seems. The characters are well written and lively. There were moments his writing of the events had me terrified."
