I’m starting to realize one of the problems with posting these reviews once a week and post dating them to the next Friday is that it’s tricky to tell where my brain is in the healing process. It is not far enough, which is important to know for me talking about this book.
This book is a series of essays, which I have only just learned is written works on a topic and not arguments written in a very specific, teacher-approved format. The topics were variable, all of them coming back to horror, and I know that I enjoyed the experience of reading it! But there was one main problem.
I don’t remember a single thing that I read.
This is not a reflection on the book, but how I’ve been during recovery. Because each of these essays was focused on only a couple ideas, my brain just wasn’t able to hold onto one when I started the next. It was a fascinating experience, and one that I will hopefully never experience again.
But I do know that I enjoyed what I read, which is something! And if you were thinking about checking it out, do it! And then tell me what I read.
