This is, um, one of the most... intense horror books I've read in a while, and I've been spending my summer on gothic horror.
The prose is incredible, particularly the descriptions, setting, and PoV. I definitely want to read more by Dawson, but yeah, don't go into this one unprepared.
Unlike poor Rosemary.
