Outdated and demonisation of ‘multiple personality disorders’ and ‘transvesites’belladonnashrike's review against another edition
4.25
for the late 50s, this was probably extremely dark and disturbing. but i’m used to this genre & have read/seen worse in both books and movies so I guess that’s why I didn’t feel the way others probably felt when it came out. it felt more like a thriller than horror because of that, but that’s just me.
I enjoyed most of it, except for the explanation bit near the end (chapters 15-16, I think). I loved the final chapter, though.
Moderate: Misogyny, Murder, and Violence
Minor: Forced institutionalization and Transphobia
