Grady Hendrix is probably one of the coolest horror writers in the world. Seriously, he does an amazing job of creating an unsettling atmosphere, grossing the reader out with gore, and giving his stories a sense of urgency, but he is also really good at making his stories fun. Amongst the tension and fear, he tosses in something vaguely ridiculous to give the reader a bit of comic relief. This book, like everything he writes, is great.
