Night Guest

I don't know what I was expecting going into this book, but I definitely didn't get what I was expecting (positive). This book takes lots of jabs at that patriarchy at every moment possible and I love that. It was also very creepy and unsettling, and I'm not really sure what happened at the end. I kind of love that too though.

Probably avoid this book if you don't want to read something that touches on violence against women or violence against animals. I thought it was super cool though in any case. Definitely want to read more by the author.

Good eerie without being too scary for me, well paced and not predictable, fun to devour quickly.

This story was fast-paced. Unfortunately, that was the only real positive it had going for it. While the prose wasn't bad, it lacked a clear, compelling voice. The twists were boring. The "horror" was there, I guess, but it wasn't so much scary as slightly unsettling. Overall, it was a fine enough short story that suffered by being longer than a few pages.
