The writing is rich and vivid and every page is a treat for the imagination. I thought I would race through it as it's just short of three hundred pages, but found myself savouring Cottam's cinematic descriptions of the people and places that inhabit this novel. The scenes involving the malevolent waiting room itself are intense, full of a claustrophobia that is both disturbing and chilling.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Magdalena Curse by F G Cottam]].
Further Reading Suggestion: If you like the sound of this book, you may also enjoy F G Cottam's [[Dark Echo by F G Cottam|Dark Echo]] or [[The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson]].
