Listened to the audio this time (my third time enjoying one) and it was excellent!

I keep seeing this described as a supernatural thriller. To me, this just kind of reads like an entire family being held hostage by mental illness. It seemed drab and depressing rather than spooky and exciting even though some crazy stuff happens.

Added this to my TBR stack because I'm getting behind on my reading challenge and I am reading some shorter modern classics to help catch up. Didn't really know what I was getting into with this one, and it was a strange ride.

I suppose this is a psychological thriller/horror? Not sure, this isn't my typical genre. A bizarre, sad, and haunting story, well-told.
