Thanks for giving a more trustworthy opinion about the author's style!

Horror is very much my thing, but I've almost completely defected to movies because most contemporary horror fiction is badly-written crap. (Of course that also goes for a lot of the movies, but you can drink a few beers and laugh through a bad movie with friends.) The book sounded really interesting, but I got discouraged by those sketchy reviews. Of course I'm still less-than-thrilled about my beloved GoodReads getting a dose of what seems like marketing...
