Hold on to your couch...or pillow, this book takes you on a thrilling, dark, ride that you won't want to end.


If you've ever watched Black Mirror, that's what this book reminded me. Creative terror. Pages turn themselves.

Well written, strong characters, highly recommend!

Dark and terrifying, this book takes you into a bizarre and dreadful world.

The main character Kara moves into her uncle’s house after her divorce. Her uncle has a museum of curiosities and taxidermy, called The Wonder Museum.

One day Kara finds a hole in one of the rooms and thinks that perhaps one of the customers at the museum knocked a hole in the wall.
Kara and her Neighbor Simon, who works as a barista at the coffee shop next door, decide to investigate the hole.

They find a different world on the other side with lots of doors to other realities. This new world is covered in willows and mist. Kara and Simon’s further escapades in the strange new alternate reality are full of terror. The sense of dread and uncertainty is palpable. The creatures and the atmosphere in the other reality remind me of Silent Hill, ( the way silent hill becomes terrifying and full of bizarre creatures in it’s alternate reality).

This book is certainly a horror fan’s dream. It is full of ghastly creatures and creepy scenarios. It is like a horrifying version of Alice in wonderland where instead of falling into wonderland, Alice goes into an eerie and horrifying place through a hole in the wall. I would recommend this book to people who love the horror genre.

Thank you to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this book, so that I could review it.

The most terrifying book I’ve ever read, I can’t stop thinking about it! The disturbing imagery reminds me quite a bit of The Southern Reach trilogy but make no mistake, this is a unique world of its own. Pick this up and you won’t be able to put it down until you’re finished.

This book features one of the most unnerving and fascinating locations I've ever read in a work of fiction. The second our main characters entered that other place I was completely unable to put the book down, and after I managed to tear myself away I couldn't stop thinking about it for hours. I'm still thinking about it now!

And while the "place" certainly stole the show for me, the characters and story also were very enjoyable. Kara is a sympathetic, interesting, and believable protagonist. I found myself nodding along with most of her decisions and rationalizations throughout the book, which is always a good thing in a genre where many characters seem to be racing to be the first to climb into a body bag. I was a little surprised about how it ended, but I loved almost everything about this book.

Horror fans should run, not walk, to their nearest bookseller or library when this book comes out to get their hands on a copy.
