I almost DNF'd this at about 35% but the reviews on this book kept me reading. In the end, I could've gone without reading this. I thought it was a stretch to classify this book as horror. It was more of a mystery and literary fiction novel.
Maybe I would've rated it higher had I gone into it knowing that the horror element would be lacking but I feel like my expectations were not met and it felt a bit like a slog. I honestly don't have much to say, this felt forgettable to me and I wasn't incredibly impressed.
