kingpockets 's review for:

And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich

3.0

---

This book is 'The Yellow Wallpaper' meets 'House of Leaves'. The use interesting use of text and page space was not as well executed as with 'House of Leaves' (srsly, turning pages in that book filled me with anxiety let alone what was written on them) but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I enjoyed the slow creeping, dreamlike desecnt into madness. The house itself is it's own character, it's own antagonist. My biggest criticism is the big plot reveal at the end honestly felt like an afterthought.
