9 out of 10

Even better than I expected, and the buildup is undeniably creepier once you know where it's heading. Nothing beats how unsettling the ending is though!

This was pretty wild and completely perfect - exactly what you want from a horror novel written in 1967 🖤 It’s completely gripping from start to finish, the pacing of my dreams. The ending is insane and hilarious, not sure that’s what the author was going for, but I couldn’t think of a more fitting end. I will absolutely devour more of Mr. Ira Levin’s deliciously creepy masterpieces and plan to pour a vodka blush on the carpet in his honor.
