Laura’s Reviews > The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story > Status Update

This is a very complicated, dense text. On the surface, very little happens. And that's the challenge. I know only the outlines of early 19th century intellectual trends, which you need to at least recognize, otherwise this just seems like a book about some annoying men walking around pontificating and regularly erupting into the most horrifying misogyny. This could all go so many ways still.
