This was a deeply unsettling little horror novel that I simply flew through. I'm currently re-reading Ottessa Moshfegh's "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" and it's funny because I kept thinking her character was going to do something horrific but was just mixing the two storylines. My only complaint is the murdering of cats - not a fan. I actually really hate animal murder in horror books and don't understand that aspect some horror writers feel like they need to include. As the cat stuff came up just for a few pages, I flipped past them. It didn't add anything to the book except yuck.
