"Evil seldom takes shape immediately. It is often little more than a whisper at first. A glance. A betrayal. But then it grows and takes root, still invisible, unnoticed. Only fairy tales give evil a proper shape. The big bad wolves, the evil kings, the demons, and devils . . ."
Haven't watched the movie yet but this book was so good! At first I thought this was a children's book but it was too gory to be called one. Beautifully dark and atmospheric. The audiobook narrator was amazing too! I'll watch the movie next time.
