This is not a horror or thriller novel, really. It's a very heartbreaking story about grief and trauma. It's structured a bit strangely, but once I realized the format in the middle of Part 2, it made the book a bit more engaging. Overall, it was nothing like it was advertised, but it's a good story. I was looking for something "scary" or thiller-esque, though.

The tone reminded me of Night Film--creepy, dark, a bit claustrophobic; at one point (p. 40 in my copy) I physically jumped and palpably reacted to the word "my." The mystery at the core is less violent than I'd originally guessed, and I appreciated the community of the book trying to support its odd duck.

Strange. Eerie. Unsettling. I don't know, I just loved this. Will be thinking about it for months.
