The only reason I finished this book is because I have a weird obsessive thing that if I start a library book, no matter what, I have to finish it before I can return it.
I was very patient in waiting for something to actually happen. My patience was not rewarded.

Atmospheric and well written, this literary American Gothic novel starts off strong with a constant sense of dread. The writing is full of tension, but as the story moves along, you soon realize that the plot is somewhat meandering and the payoff leaves a ridiculous amount to be desired. Much respect to the author though for making seemingly inconsequential suburban life so quietly terrifying.
