A Sense of Shadow by Kate Wilhelm

snood's review against another edition

3.0

A Sense of Shadow is an intriguing horror drama about a family being forced to re-face the traumatic memories of a less than happy home life. Although the concept was interesting, it seems to repeat story beats and drags in parts, which I didn’t expect from a 1980s paperback horror. This is a much less over-the-top experience than I expected and I feel it could have been a bit shorter in spots. Overall, it wasn’t bad by any means, I just don’t think it’s quite my cup of tea.

I’m not sure why this is classified as a sci-fi. No such elements are in the novel.
