Was an easy, fast pace read for me and i enjoyed the mysterious setting and strange cast of characters.
Enjoyed this enough to read more Moshfegh. I only come away feeling I need to read more folk horror (a genre I love in film) as it fell short of fully scratching that itch.

You are in for a ride. Lots of Christianity in here, but not in a missionary sort of way.
