It’s a tale as old as time. Girl meets junkie. Girl flees to New Mexico after his death. Girl cleans houses to support herself. Girl washes hands with poop thinking it’s decorative soap. Girl…
Okay. Wait. That’s entirely too romantic to be the tale that’s as old as time.
What Beagin has created is a compelling story full of awkward, yet comedic situations that reveal the inner workings of a 26 year-old cleaning lady trying to accept, or maybe repress, her dark, DARK past. Vacuum in the Dark is an uncomfortable book that readers will either love for its complexity or simply label too confusing. For this gal, it worked. (Shivers remembering awkward situations) Oh, yes. It worked.

I just love this series, and I found Vacuum In The Dark even better than Pretend I’m Dead.
This is funny, and dark, and twisted, and oddly relatable. Mona just might be my favourite fictional character.
