Was NOT expecting this when I started. I started getting chills while I read. I sometimes read before bed and I had to stop and watch something on tv so as to make sure I didn't get nightmares if I went right to sleep afterwards.

It's so creepy and hard to explain how masterfully Schweblin weaves the tension and horror into the narrative. A narrative that I may not even be completely clear with, but she gives the reader enough to imagine it in your own way, which is probably the scariest of all. It tapped into something personal to me, but I think it would be something different and experienced differently from reader to reader.
