Come Closer by Sara Gran
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I flew through this audiobook because it is so short and was an easy to digest horror. However, I felt the emotional connection to Amanda, Ed, and their overall relationship lackluster as the climax really hits IF you feel an ounce of anything for either of them. Amanda might be possessed, might not be. Ed might be a demanding husband, might just be tired of his wife’s erratic behavior.
I think for this being released in 2003, it was doing stuff other horror authors didn’t want to touch since we had the Exorcist to fill the void of demonic possession stories BUT I think now, something like A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay did the concept better.
