This has me at a lost for words.
It was so dark. Not in a typical extreme horror kind of a way, and nothing directly in your face. It's an appreciative kind of darkness. The darkness found in isolation, darkness in the unknowing. Like being alone in a giant mansion
I think of this book often too. It really stuck with me. I didn't mind the ending as everything else had became so weird anyways.
