“To Exist, but Not Be There”: Terence DeToy Reviews Shelter for the Damned


“The novel’s pacing is relentless. You may find yourself breathing only during page turns.

What’s really terrifying about this novel is its fidelity to the suburban experience—that is, what’s scary is how realistic so much of it is.”
