Bizarre, beautiful, and ... hideously racist. It was honestly compelling until Strieber introduced an unnecessary "American Indian shapeshifter" trope that was dehumanising, scattered slurs throughout Chapter 13, and even implied the old, alcoholic, "last of the Mohicans" who had offered nothing but compassion for the Duke family's bizarre situation was secretly trying to rape a white woman. Just a gross inclusion that really undermined the story.
