4.0

This is a great horror novella, and what really stands out is the writing. I’d call this literary horror. I’ve only read one demonic possession novel before, Head Full of Ghosts, and this one managed to do a lot more for me in half the amount of pages. The possession was as realistic as it could have been, and I really enjoyed the religious mythos woven into the demon’s backstory. The short scenes made each moment, especially between Amanda and her husband, that much more impactful. There are some truly horrific dream scenes in here. I do wish the ending had been a little more fleshed out, but the abbreviated nature of the ending fit the rest of the book. There were a couple descriptions in here that don’t sit quite right reading this book 20 years later, but these few word choices didn’t take me too far out of the story. I will definitely pick up her newest full length novel.
