Eeeek. Horror I suppose is the right classification of this book and no I didn’t enjoy the ride. It was read sloth 🦥 like and I expect (unbeknownst to me) more anxiety; thrills of a psychological thriller

A lot of great stuff has unfolded, yet I am not feeling the anxiety that I thought I would halfway through the book. 😕

“I have been in many dark places, some lacking light, and others devoid of hope.”

“Hard luck seemed to seep out of the ground itself, as though the devils rooms in Hades were directly beneath the streets, his sleeping loft, so near the surface, that his fetid breath, expelled with every snore, percolated through the soil.“

The imagery this author convey is fascinating to me
“Fortunately, his movements were nearly as slow and methodical as the growth of mildew.”

This author is a poet.
“Only a handful know that I see the relentless dead. The others have whittled an image of me with the distorting knives of rumor, until I am a different piece of scrimshaw to each of them.“ 😮 🤯
