    It's a light read, even though it's the author's first new book, it already has 300,000 words. The author updates very quickly. If you have a few minutes, give it a try. If you can get into it, you'll keep reading. It's suspenseful, imaginative, and terrifyingly supernatural, but not your average horror. It's the kind of psychological terror that's built up through the scenes, atmosphere, and plot. An endless dreamscape, a corridor you can't escape no matter what, bustling streets during the day, and at night everyone silently going to the auditorium for a terrifying ritual. Every other night, people disappear. It's a series of layers of suspense and plot twists. The only problem is that you might actually be a little scared at night.
