1.5

As a native of the Midwest I found the book’s emphasis on rural midwestern lifestyle nostalgic. However, I picked up the book because it was advertised as trippy, cerebral psychological horror. I do not think that is an accurate description of this novel by any means. Then again, maybe I just didn’t get it.
