This was super odd. Maybe I need to have read Magic Mountain in order to get what this book is trying to ~ do ~ but it just felt like a lot of walking around and observing pompous male discussions that don’t quite follow from one another. We only got to the titular “horror” bit like 90% of the way through the book, and that made things more interesting, but it just felt like a whole lot of nothing for just a little something at the end. Glad I read this on Kindle and didn’t buy it cuz I fear I felt that this kinda sucked. Sorry Olga I will try something else of yours!
