3.0
“Many reviewers rate this strange little plotless book poorly but I enjoyed it immensely! Weird mix of ghost story and philosophical discourse.”
“An exhausting read - cynical, nihilistic, and bleak. Beautifully descriptive and atmospheric but almost smothering in its gloom, and a bit meandering and aimless at times. This book requires a very specific frame of mind and mood to be enjoyed.”
