"Highsmith's writing is wicked . . . it puts a spell on you, after which you feel altered, even tainted."--Entertainment Weekly

💎 Our verdict on Slowly, Slowly in the Wind

“
🩸
Horror Reads editorial team
Horror desk
Highsmith delivers a spellbinding, albeit subtle, entry into psychological horror. The prose acts as a conduit for unease, leaving the reader feeling tainted—a testament to its effectiveness. However, this is not for those seeking visceral gore or straightforward plot resolutions. The lack of a provided summary suggests a narrative that demands active, uncomfortable engagement rather than passive consumption. Readers preferring clear moral boundaries or fast-paced action may find the tone too insidious or vague. It rewards patience and a taste for literary discomfort, standing as a testament to Highsmith’s ability to warp perception without revealing its mechanics.
