I'm not a fan of horror in any format but I really don't get it when it comes to books. I just don't think a book can actually be scary. So from that point of view, this was always going to be a non starter for me. 

I can see how this would work well on screen though, as a psychological thriller rather than straight up horror. I think the ambiguous nature of the whole thing would work much better on screen too.
