Every moment of bliss, agony, frustration, grief, or love has a purpose in this story. None of them are used lightly or cheaply. It’s very impressive for a horror novel to reach such depths.

The Macabre just doesn’t stop… with the punches, twists, reveals or impossible decisions. And all the while it likens itself, numerous times, to Alice entering the Looking Glass. I appreciate how Jackson has paid homage to Alice without giving up the important racial context for his main character.

You just don’t expect to see so many Alice in Wonderland references in a horror novel! Love it!

”Someone once said that magic is science that hasn’t been understood yet… they’re one and the same; two different sides of the same coin.”

”Cursed antiquities do not care who they hurt.
Some nice gory moments just passed. *shudder*

I just need more time to read this! It’s riveting!! If I had the time I’m confident I’d have devoured this in a couple hours.

Switching to audio of this for a few chapters. What a wonderful male narrator. And wow what a vivid few opening chapters. Without a doubt the magic and premise here is superb. I hope it can continue in this way!
