dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

3.5

“Are you good or are you bad?”
What scares me most now is that I don’t know the answer.

Unsettling and tense but subtle in a way that makes everything slowly creep up on you. The very abrupt shift right near the end, where you immediately know something has changed and you can’t go back, it’s all so creepy and confusing but really well done.

I read another review that said, “This book makes you scared, but you don’t know why,” and that’s exactly it. It reminds me of Shutter Island or even The Machinist. You’ll question things but you don’t know why until it’s right in your face. I’m not much one for psychological horror, but if that’s your vibe, you’ll definitely enjoy this.

I cannot stop thinking about this book. I read it two weeks ago and I cannot shake this book, in the best way.

De beschrijving "psychologische thriller" doet dit boek tekort. 

Dit is een roman die zo diep in iemands psyche duikt en daarin alle angst, verdriet en spijt uitvist, dat het meer horrorliteratuur is dan wat anders.

Op het einde ontdek je dat het verhaal allesbehalve is wat je dacht dat het is. Tenminste, als je oplet. Dit boek vraagt toch enige aandachtigheid.

Vormelijk is het fragmentarisch, impressionistisch, verwarrend. Voor mij versterkt dat enkel de gesprekken over depressie, eenzaamheid, de vrees/het verlangen gekend te worden, zelfmoordgedachten en angst waar dit boek van uitpuilt. 

Al bij al, een akelig verhaal.

Ik denk dat dit een van mijn nieuwe favorieten is.
