As for the horror story itself, it's got a very psychological bent, and keeps the reader asking if what Elsie's experiencing is "real" or not. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending, though. I mean, it makes sense, overall, that that should be how it ends, but... Hm. Not sure how I feel about it. Maybe there's something about the execution of it that doesn't sit well with me? I mean, I don't MIND it, conceptually, just... Not sure I feel about it overall. Still, not a bad read at all!
