I did the unfortunate thing of reading this during the Covid-19 pandemic. And boy was that a choice. I was already feeling quite claustrophobic just from quarantine, but this book did well to amplify that feeling tenfold. If you like unsettling and creepy feelings of paranoia, this book is for you. Danielewski does a fantastic job with spacial awareness in this one. And he gets very psychological with it too. I felt as though I was going crazy reading this manuscript too. Felt like I was right beside the characters within the book. Its delicious. And I was and am obsessed.
