It Came From Inside – D.W. Hitz

4/5 stars

In It Came From Inside, Hitz combines two of my absolutely least favourite things (claustrophobic caves and horrible creepy crawlies) into a gore-filled story that’s going directly on my list of reasons why I should never visit a cave!

For the life of me, I don’t know how there are any people left in Custer Falls. With everything that’s happened there so far, if I was lucky enough to have avoided all of those monstrosities, I’d have been on the first bus out of town. If there aren’t any buses, time to take the train. Shoot, I’d walk if I had to! Anything that would mean I wasn’t going to be hanging around waiting for some bug/worm/scaly amalgamation to come eat me!

This one gave me the skin shivers. It’s a very fast read, but no less creepy than Hitz’s longer books in this series. And it had a happy ending! Sort of…..maybe not for certain people, but something was definitely happy at the end, so it counts in my book. It was sort of sweet, I suppose, in a wormy squiggly type of bodysnatcher way.

Custer Falls? Worst vacation destination ever! 10/10 do not recommend! What I do recommend, though, is reading this book and the other books in this series before it’s too late, and you think a cozy family trip to the mountains might be a great idea!
