Such a classic, the writing is a little stiff but this never fails to make my skin crawl. A great little book but I have to say it shows its genius as a performance - on stage or as a radio play.

Perfectly adequate but really more just sad than frightening and I found myself able to work up my feeling for the dog than the main character. I very rarely say this, but I think the movie was honestly better.

Loved the writing. I was flabbergasted when I finished it and discovered it was published in 1983, I thought it was from like the 1920’s… The ending is so joyful and uplifting <3
