⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Sara Gran delivers a masterclass in atmospheric tension, grounding supernatural horror in tangible, disturbing actions like cigarette burns and altered memos. The narrative effectively maintains dread by focusing on Amanda’s daily disintegration rather than relying on jump scares. Gran’s sharp prose supports the theme of eroding agency, making the reader complicit in the unsettling ambiguity of whether evil or illness is at fault. This approach suits readers who enjoy psychological depth and gothic undertones. However, those seeking traditional resolutions or clear monster hunts may find the lack of easy answers frustrating. The book excels in its portrayal of a hostile internal landscape, making it a strong choice for devotees of slow-burn terror.
