Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments A Stranger in My Grave, Margaret Millar, 1960, United States, NOVEL

"The pervading feeling of Stranger is for the uncanny, an almost Twilight Zone-esque feeling of wrongness lurking beneath the placid surface of middle-class respectability [...] that drives Millar's brand of psychological thriller. If her protagonist Daisy's mental vulnerability reflects her ambivalence with her place as a cossetted 'little woman', Millar also sees in it a kind of strength."

(Kaion, review)
