Monstera

by E L Block

Thought-provoking and unique, Monstera offers a glimpse into the private lives of three very different families, all residing in the same strangely alluring house, at different times. As the narrative unfolds through alternating timelines and perspectives, each family struggles with their own unique challenges and dynamics, while working against an evolving malevolent force lurking among them. Monstera is a haunting tale that contemplates the destructive power of our belief systems, celebrates the endurance of the human spirit, and captures the fundamental essence of family, self-identity, and human nature. Through its atmospheric descriptions and unsettling encounters, it serves as a startling reminder that everything, however inconsequential it may seem, leaves a lasting imprint for decades to come. This fresh exploration of gothic fiction carefully blends the supernatural with the psychological, as it delves into the frightening unknown, the depths of the human psyche, and the staggering lengths we’ll go to for our families.

Amazing read, loved how it kept changing, and I never saw the ending coming!

[Julie P]

A little jarring overall, but, like her previous book, ending was a surprise.
