Daphne by Josh Malerman

This would make an amazing screenplay. As a book, the first 2/3 worked and was fairly creepy but then toward the end things just started happening and I'm so confused about what the explanation for it was. I know that in horror we rarely get it tied up in a nice bow but this one was just .... done? And no real explanation for how the events from the past lined up with what was happening in the present. Maybe the whole thing was a metaphor or maybe I'm just not smart enough to get it. Either way, I enjoyed it for the most part and firmly believe it would make a stellar movie.
