The author's imagery was almost artistic at times, which made the premise of the story that much more intense.

Depends on your interpretation!
Amanda has been going through it. Hearing noises, seeing things, behavior untypical for her.
Is she coming into her own, or is it something much more sinister?
Come Closer by Sara Gran is unsettling in that it's not written like horror. It's straightforward, with a relatable main character.
It's a quick and excellent creepy read. Recommended!

This plot is certainly for some, but just didn't hit for me. The writing style was witty, clipped, and didn't waste any time with anything at all fluff or unnecessary; lots of strong craftsmanship in the thrill department. There were quite a few times I chuckled out loud at something, in a good way.
If you like the movie
PS: Did not like the Latina mystic/tarot reader stereotypical stock character; it seemed like a joke about the way these things are usually solved in movies, but it just didn't land with me.
