Third in the Sworn Soldier series, this book was pretty good, but again, like What Feasts at Night, not as perfect as What Moves the Dead. This novella is very creepy, as it mostly takes place in an abandoned coal mine. Kingfisher's prose once again is the star as it makes the exploring of the cave so very claustrophobic. The past books were nods to Poe and local folklore. This one is a nod to the Chthulu mythos. It's a satisfying read. It just didn't grab my whole being.
