I read this book in just a few days. Sackett creates characters and situations that are so real it can be painful to read at times. I bought into this story hook line and sinker. The way Grogo the Goblin shifts between a dim witted circus freak to a cognizant creep is unnerving at times. I also read one of Sackett's other books called, 'Mark of the Werewolf'. It is equally cool.
A creepy read!

I read this and thought it was one of the most creepy things I ever read! I don't know where he gets his ideas but may they never cease to inspire him.
