Wow this was brilliant. Such a dark compelling horror that reflects on how women are disbelieved and the very real horror of how (especially pregnant) women are treated. Definitely one that will stay with me for a while.
I think I have a soft spot for the very niche tropes of a) creepy culty appartment blocks and b) exploring how shitty men treat women and mothers, and this combined the two perfectly. A true classic of the genre, it's cool to be able to see the influence this book has had on so many others since.
