It's not that I don't like horror precisely; it's that I can't always express why some horror works for me and some doesn't. This...I mean, kind of? I think I need a certain mystery element - the *what is going ON* element needs to be strong and, in this, the what felt like it was less at the center of the story because not-knowing didn't matter that much for the narrative unfolding.
It was good and also it was written for a person who likes different books than I like.
