Loved it. Stephen King through the lens of Spielberg. Great writing, that so authetically captures the feeling of being the victim of that one dude at school who could somehow talk you into doing the dumbest stuff. I had a great time with this.

Cosy, scary, brilliant. The world Woodroe has created in Whisperwood is filled with deep and interesting mythology, that holds up a plot that is in parts funny, dark, scary, and touching. loved it.
