I'm Thinking of Ending Things

I love the concept, the writing style. A less fun We Need to Talk About Kevin. But despite the atmospheric wandering, and subtle horrors... it lacks making me care about the narrator, or their big questions, and the atmospheric horror aspects, while good, lack any thrill or climax. While I didn't particularly like this book, I want to read more from this author. They know how to create a mood, I'm hoping in other works the content and characters add to that mood.
