dark tense fast-paced

True to the film and a different read for me but I did enjoy it. A small book so quite easy to read and follow along with.

I’m not usually one for horrors, whether that be literature or film, however after reading this for an English exam, it made me realise that it’s a genre I wouldn’t completely rule out.

Why I love this book:

I like that I didn't even know that this book was published in the 80s, until I began reading it. I thought it was just a Gothic novel that I didn't know about. The build up to the end of this book was pretty gosh darned awesome. I kept on wondering what was going to happen and well, the ending does not disappoint in the sheer creepiness department.

Beetje saai tot echt de laatste 10 pagina’s en op het einde viel me bek echt open
