2.5

The first half was interesting and creepy but the second half took a weird and disturbing turn.  I just didn't like where it went.  It felt like it could've been more creative but what do I know? I think the back half didn't age well but if I read it when it was released I would probably have a different reaction.  Check trigger warnings.
