5.0

A fantastic psychological bending story. Being a short read, the aspect of an unreliable narrator changes the tone of the book entirely. It is confusing and difficult to understand at times, but in my opinion that only adds to the subject. I loved it, the writer did exceptionally well.

Neat architecture horror, time loop except not quite loop thingie. I loved the prose and the symbolism produced, despite the brevity. I liked how they introduced the odd architecture of the house, it felt pretty natural and smooth to the narrative. I never saw the movie so I cannot say how it holds up against a different medium.
