Status Updates From The Waking That Kills

I loved the writing and atmosphere created, but it got real weird about halfway through and kept getting weirder. Many questions. And so much animal (birds) abuse. I will give this author another try. I've read reviews saying his earlier books are his best.

"It was May. The woodland was busy with birdsong, and everywhere was bursting with the fresh greenery of brambles and nettles and sweet new grasses. And yet, somehow, a whispering uneasiness seemed to lie among the rambling acres of Chalke House."

"The tower room was a grand airy space, with wide windows on all four sides, and the views of the woodland valley, right up to the distant ridge of the wolds and further to a hazy, blue horizon, gave the sensation of being in the eyrie of some huge bird of prey."

Wiki: "For me, exiled for years to the torrid tropical jungles and dreariness of the faraway mosque, she’d been the electric-blue shock of the jay and the flash of the yaffle in an old English woodland."

Wiki: "She snatched the batik off the table."

Wiki: "It was a Daimler hearse."
