ambershelf 's review for:

The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk
4.0

ARC gifted by the publisher

Not your typical fast-paced and obvious suspense/horror, but a very subtle one where I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time while doubting myself. I had no idea where the novel was going but it was worth the patience (and emotional torture of not knowing what’ll happen
