I've read BM and really didn't enjoy it. It seemed unnecessarily bleak and had some disturbing themes.

I got THH from library and have started it. Like others have mentioned was a bit gloomier than expected, but is beautifully, sparsely written. I also got Rachel Cusk's Second Place from the library which sounded gloomier in the blurb, but is actually definitely the cheerier book!

I'm going to postpone reading THH for a couple of weeks. I'm only 120 pages into Demon Copperhead and I want to get close to finishing this first.
