dark
emotional
reflective
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.5
seems long and drawn out and is a far shot from what I was expecting due to the distortion of its resonance in popular culture, but eloquent and deserving of its place in not only horror but overall classic literature. very mesmerizing writing
