Mister Lullaby

by J. H. Markert

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Every town has secrets. Likewise, nearly every town has a location that everyone prefers to avoid. For Harrod's Reach that place is an old train tunnel. It was always creepy, but it became downright alarming after a little boy was left for dead in there.

The town wanted to wall off the tunnel. Deputy Sheriff Beth Gardner thought they were taking it too far....until two new bodies were found just outside the tunnel. Now, she'll have to race against the clock to discover what is happening in the dark.

My Review:

Confession time: I may have grabbed Mister Lullaby because that cover had serious IT vibes. That said, it feels like the sort of lingering horror novel that T. Kingfisher would write, so I'd go into this book expecting more of that kind of experience.

However, I should warn you that this book is legit freaky. Like, don't make the mistake of reading it at night levels of freaky. Speaking from experience here – you won't sleep well if you have Mister Lullaby rattling around in your head. (God, even that sentence is kinda horrifying, isn't it?).

This dark read will keep you on the edge of your seat, regardless of how late at night it is. So uh, yeah. Keep that in mind as well. I can tell you right now that I wouldn't watch the adaptation of this book (if it existed). Not because I think it'd be bad, but because I know I couldn't handle it.

Highlights:
Thriller/Paranormal Horror
T. Kingfisher Vibes
