The horror initially is mostly implied by means of some antique and stolen african artifacts, but then takes this fairly standard starting point and veers into some truly icky personal stories. I found myself wondering where the "real" horror actually originated. The descriptions on Amazon give too much away if you ask me, since I read it with no preconcpetions or expectations, it truly creeped me out. <BR/>As a side note, I felt it had a very "British" Victorian feel to it as well...lots of repressed feeling etc...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-19528837357988181462008-08-26T15:39:00.000-05:002008-08-26T15:39:00.000-05:00Oh, and Caleb, I think it's a giant pug more than ...Oh, and Caleb, I think it's a giant pug more than a bulldog.
