This was absolutely, undeniably creepy! I was listening to it in the middle of the day, but I was also alone in the woods and I got 100% spooked and had to take a break. Based on the synopsis I did not expect that to happen - but audiobooks always up the scare factor for me over reading with my eyeballs.
Malerman really captured the feeling of anxiety in this story - Kit, our main character, struggles with anxiety and panic attacks as the story progresses and those felt very true to life. If you've never had a panic attack, reading this book will give you a good approximation of what it is like. Daphne herself is sort of a stand in for anxiety and fear - once you start thinking about her, she's coming to get you, and that sort of tracks with my own experience with anxiety.
I didn't absolutely love the ending, mostly because I didn't completely understand what was happening? But it wasn't enough of a problem to ruin the story as a whole.
