I agree with Grady Hendrix that the scariest things in the world aren't monsters, it's patriarchy and white privilege. But a little less desperate housewives and more vampires would've made this way less a chore to get through.
Sometimes you just read a book that pushes all your buttons, and mine are lesbian necromancers solving riddles and kicking ass apparentely. Not that I'm surprised by that.
Started out really good and horrifyingly relatable, but then lost me completely.
It captures the feeling of depression well but never goes anywhere with it and leaves you with a rushed and flat ending. Really fun and satirical though, I didn't regret reading it!
I loved the way it was written though, I will definitely read more Otessa Moshfegh.
