Review: TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET by Willow Rose

Scary! That's my word for this novel. Scary! Straight-on supernatural horror, implacable, unavoidable, "the goblins are gonna get you if you don't watch out." Oh yes, abundance of fairy tale resonances here, and the characters really feel that.The plot is very suspenseful (scary!) with a number of unexpected twists. The author selects an unusual type for the horror (unusual in modern culture) and makes the horror seem impossible to bystanders, and even to the victims. Believing is difficult for the characters, until it's too late. I found the ending startling but quite satisfactory. Throughout, the level of suspense was kept ratcheted up with quite a number of edge-of-the-seat moments.
