dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Probably not as scary as it might have been at the time. Still, it's weirdly unsettling and absolutely timeless in that respect. The prose has the strange power to make the story feel more dead and more alive simultaneously.
