Eileen

My tastes run to the strange. This is the exactly what I needed to counteract the super sweetness of the holiday season. Eileen is one of the most complex characters I've read in awhile. She's a bit gross, but I found myself pitying her. She has a difficult living situation and has been following orders for quite some time. What she desires is to be loved, or maybe, just noticed. And she finds it.

I loved the way this story unfolded and it felt noirish, and dark. If it were the 90's, I'd have expected to find this story in an independent film made with a very low budget-I would have loved it then too.
Great read.
