Reading a classic in the horror genre, and Io.. it was dark.
I heard many things about this book, but I was not expecting it to be this blunt and descriptive.
No wonder this was banned.
The prose is excellent, although very slow in my opinion; the characters reek of evil and despair, and I got all the East Ellis vibes reading this.
I'm not sure about the ending, but then, how could such a book truly end ?
A classic, yes, but not for everyone.
