Tremblay just keeps getting better and better with every book. Beautifully paced, incredibly tense, and with an ending that made me holler. A must-read for any sci-fi and horror fan!

A beautiful collection of poems, fables, and essays about the state of the world, music, and creativity. A must for any MJ fan, but be aware that you will cry a few times while reading.
