The Victorian Chaise-Longue by Marghanita Laski
3.0
Wow. For a Persephone book, I was expecting some forgettable middlebrow piece but this one really packed a punch. I'm not sure how to categorize this book into a genre. At first glance, it appears to fall into the historical fiction genre but I would categorize this as psychological horror. It's even scarier, knowing how long ago it was written and somehow, with me at least, I can't help but laugh at earlier writers' attempts at horror.
The synopsis of this book is so brief that it's easy to dismiss it but now I understand that any more description would give away the plot.
This wasn't my cup of tea but that doesn't detract from Laski's talent.
