I'll definitely have nightmares. I also am not the biggest fan of long-winded prose. Only a few authors can really get away with that. And quoting Shakespeare? I deal with that enough at work. ha.

If the story hadn't won me over from the start, I might have lost interest when things got a little slow, especially near the end ... and the bunny thing did NOT go down well ... for me, though, the whole book just <i>worked</i> as a super atmospheric (and bloody! o_o) Southern Gothic!!

From this, I think I'd agree with you about the characters - I don't think I'd warm up to them either. Still, I like the concept of this book so I might give it a go. Thanks for the review!Liz.
