Daphne
by Josh Malerman
I’m SO conflicted about this book. It has a lot of things I like: it’s less than 300 pages, it’s horror, and it’s a ghost story. Sadly, it has some weird elements too. There are no chapters in this book. For me, it made picking it back up each day a real dread. It also has a lot of diary entries from the main character which I thought slowed it down a good bit. Side note: was there a prize for mentioning the word Samhattan a million times? Either way, it’s not a bad book and I really liked the story, especially when it picked up the last 75 pages or so. Would recommend to someone who doesn’t mind the formatting. Also this is for sure YA. Why not label it that?
