Thanks! Unfortunately, I can’t think of any good creepy angels to offer right now so I’m going to take your follow advice as well as your book advice and make payment later.

The only creepy angels I can think of are some of the ones in Supernatural. Though they weren’t thaaat creepy.

Ahahaha, I am in great sympathy with that. So many people have mentioned Dr Who in this comments thread, it’s making me want to go back and watch that episode again.

Do! It’s quite cool (but also very dark and a bit gory, if that’s something that bothers you).

THOSE ARE THE WORLD’S CREEPIEST ANGELS.

Heh, well my bookshelves are complaining of overwork but my wallet does accept your apology. 🙂

I like atmospheric books, so perhaps I’ll check this out!

This sounds really good, though!
