Daphne by Josh Malerman
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
5.0
Don't think about it. Don't talk about it. Forget it happened.
"Daphne" will creep up on you. Haunt you. Terrorize you. Replay over and over and over in your head and you WILL NOT get her out.
All I can say is, this book won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I related to it. I appreciate that Josh Malerman expresses the nuances of anxiety disorders through a medium he certainly understands: horror writing.
This novel has no chapters and is one long rambling narrative told though multiple perspectives. It's chaotic. It's what anxiety is. And I honestly couldn't put this book down. Well done!
**contains graphic, violent scenes; child kidnapping
