DID NOT FINISH: 45%

This is far too dull for me to want to continue. I made it nearly halfway before I stopped.

i sat down upon my bed to read the book and settled in and got a quarter of the way through and then the wind flared through the window and pushed the blinds and knocked my glass of water off the windowsill and all over my bed & the back of my laptop so i had to dry that off. and then i went out into the living room to read on the couch and listened to my roommate moving around and then she came out to eat her lunch and turned on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and when i started getting distracted by the tv i looked over at the Real Housewives and their conversation went "do you mind if i get a little catty?" "go ahead" "well.. that house was strange, right?" "ohh that house" "yes it just didn't feel right at all" so i had to leave immediately and go back into my bedroom to finish. anyway shirley jackson was like definitely a lesbian right
dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Is this book queer, or is it just me? Also, it scared the heebie jeebies out of me.

really disliked this book, but at least finished it because it was short. i honestly had no idea what was going on throughout most of the story.
