I told myself I would only read a few pages and ended up finishing it. It builds slowly but the last 15 pages are a rollercoaster from start to finish. Perfect short story. I absolutely loved it.

"I parked, got out of the car, and took a big breath of optimistic spring air. But then I spotted Susan’s house. I actually stopped and stared. Then I shivered.
It was different from the rest.
It lurked. It was the only remaining Victorian house in a long row of boxy new construction, and maybe that’s why it seemed alive, calculating."

I mean this in the best possible way...what the hell did I just read?

Read this book and report back.

I am still not sure about this one
This is unconventional and weird and yet oddly interesting.
I cant say much because it is so short - but the multiple twists made me go like .... so many twists and so little pages? WEIRD.
I dont regret reading it, would I recommend it though? not sure.
