Sogar für das Genre und die Zeit echt frauenverachtend (und das heißt was). Mir fehlte auch die poetische oder atmosphärische Sprache, die es vielleicht rausgerissen hätte. Konzept fand ich jetzt auch... nicht gut (Frau wird von Dämon vergewaltigt, dann für verrückt erklärt und die Tochter von beiden ist ein... Alien, mit dezent homoerotischen Tendenzen, was Kinder erschreckt? Ne, lass Mal).
Kann sein, dass es "ground breaking SF/Horror" war, aber das gilt für andere Werke auch und da gibt es für Besseres. Das einzig Gute, was mir jetzt einfällt und weshalb es nicht Sterne gibt, ist, dass es jetzt nicht furchtbar zu lesen war oder so (also sprachlich. Inhaltlich war es furchtbar).

I found the mystery an interesting thread to follow, but I never found myself particularly immersed in the story. The prose is very beautifully written, and I did not expect the twist at the end.

I found it really hard to follow, but it was an interesting story.
