"Him and God are supposed to be at war with each other. But if God hates sin and Satan punishes the sinners, aren't they working the same side of the street? Aren't the judge and the executioner on the same team?" 
 "God saves - but not now, and not here. His salvation is on layaway. Like all grifters, he asks you to pay now and take it on faith that you will receive later." 
 After a few chapters, the story's originality had me thinking I might really like this one. It was part murder mystery, part supernatural. A balance of sad, humorous, mysterious, and psychotic moments. A very raw and dark...really dark novel. It left me unsettled and unsure about how I felt and what I really wanted to say (what a good thriller horror genre should do). I enjoyed the layers Hill set up, the slow reveal of his psychopath character, his exploration of religion and symbolism, love and revenge, good and evil. It reminded me how we have some devil inside us all. Like a review I read..."The truly evil person is not always identified by his outward appearance and that sometimes the guy with the horns is the better man." Some humans are even scarier then the devil himself, as this story tells so well. It was exactly what I was looking for during an October/Halloween read, and what I expected from Stephen King's son. 
 I would caution a young or faint-hearted reader though who is not used to this genre.
