OK this turned into something completely different from what I expected. Not bad, just different.
The story is that of a cartoonist who is sent to a remote little town by his agent until some "bad publicity" has blown over. There, he makes dubious friends one night and goes to see the local "freak", a girl with a seriously disfigured face. The next day, he is sorry and wants to apologize to her and thus a whole lot of weird trouble starts.
Honestly, the story isn't bad but it is dragging. Maybe because while I was feeling for Rachel and liked the social topics covered here, I wanted it to be more spooky than it actually was. Or maybe because the twists weren't really twists (no actual surprises) and the supposedly comical things weren't all that funny. *shrugs*
