[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want to know what entity is behind the Pied Piper or the Erlkonig you definitely have to read this novella. It's fast paced and extremely eerie. Highlight is the description of Mr Finch's home and his background. I didn't expect anything when starting this book but the prologue already lured me in. Absolutely recommended!
