I can see why this book has the ratings it does, it's the kind of thing you either love or hate. There's not much in between.
What a strange little story. I loved the prose, I loved the setting, the characters were all awful. It was a quick and brutal read. I haven't read many novellas and I do tend to enjoy horror novels, especially ghostly horror, that takes the time to build atmosphere. This moved very fast and felt like a fever dream.
Definitely glad I read it. What a fucked up little tale.
