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

When the reveal comes at the end, the surprise was almost too scary to bear, since it concerns entities in which I truly believe. This book lingers with me… and lingers…. and lingers….
From Michael's list on in theological horror.
