For me, this was a bit too ridiculous to be truly chilling. I found the writing very vivid, but on the whole I think I preferred thinking about the idea after the fact more than actually reading the book.

I really enjoyed ‘Tory Heaven’ by Laski, so had high hopes for this short novel (more like a novella). Unfortunately, it missed the mark - not horrific enough for horror, or twisty enough as a psychological thriller. The premise was intriguing, but the short length prevented me from connecting with the protagonist, and I felt the ending was a little flat.

A striking, rather terrifying novella that's stopped me from ever buying Victorian furniture and then sleeping on it. Brrr.

Excellent claustrophobic, horror, time slip tale, explores roles of women as one theme. Read some time ago.

I got this from Persephone Books and I really enjoyed it. I like having a protagonist that you're not quite sure about, and it's an interesting premise that Laski uses rather neatly.
