I don’t really understand how LaRocca became mainstream. It will be interesting to see how people react to this one if they enjoyed Things Have Gotten Worse. This is much more representative of the niche horror LaRocca fits into, but it’s not one of the best examples of it I’ve read. Unsurprisingly, several female authors have written books I find more interesting. This book was fine but I probably would have DNFed it if it weren’t so short. It’s repetitive. Whatever experimentation there is occurs in one chapter and is then copied until there is enough “story” to call it a book. I think I would have liked it much more if it had been written as a short story. There’s just too much of it as is.
