Why read it?

1 author picked Rust as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What would you get if Stephen King fathered a love-child on the corpse of HP Lovecraft?

Or is she trapped in a living hell populated by the devoted husband and loving child she cannot remember knowing? This one creeped me out completely.

From Jefferson's list on indie fantasy books.
