Great short & creepy read that for the most part has stood the test of time. It definitely shows its age, but the vibes are still immaculate. The pacing is really well done, quietly lulling you into the end. And even if you kind of have a clue what's happening, it's still just so well delivered that you can't help but feel a bit of a gut punch with the ending. Excellent read for dystopia lovers as well as horror/thriller readers.
