Maybe this was the point or just me in particular but I really don't think calling this a horror novel really does this book any favors unless the point of labeling it as such was to subvert expectations of common abelist horror tropes, but even so it still feels bad waiting for a punch in gut that may or may come for you. I don't know if its something to think about or not.
